COMPASS. M&J’s approach is based on our proprietary assessment and transformation methodology – COMPASS. The COMPASS methodology was developed based on leading practices, client input, and proven project and change management activities. Our transformation experience, approach, and tools help M&J to “hit the ground running” and to help clients realize their goals and objectives. COMPASS guides clients through their transformation journeys providing leading practices, lessons learned, and options for future state operations. The methodology is detailed and requires sound evidence to be obtained before making recommendations or presenting options. COMPASS is based on the following four critical stages for strategically assessing, creating, and implementing successful transformation: • Inventory – assess the current state • Strategize – formulate conceptual plan based on current state, leading practices, and organizational strategic direction • Mobilize – build tactical plan with significant details to implement the recommendations and strategy • Execute – operationalize the strategy through implementation Based on the scope of work provided in the RFQ, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx will utilize the first two stages of the COMPASS methodology – the Inventory and Strategize stages. Should Alachua County desire specific, and detailed step-by-step implementation plans, activities, and timelines for each recommendation, and/or assistance with implementation of the recommendations, then we would leverage stages three and four to complete the transformation and agree upon additional fees. Business Process Improvement Methodology M&J will incorporate our Business Process Improvement Methodology into our approach. Our Business Process Improvement methodology is designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of workflow, while aligning to process objectives and ensuring that customer service remains a primary objective. We review business processes through four relational lenses: People, Process, Technology, and Controls. When optimizing any business process, the quality of the outputs and resulting stakeholder satisfaction must be considered and are incorporated into all recommendations. We will leverage this methodology to ensure a comprehensive review of key departmental business processes and ensure that all recommendations and alternative models consider impacts on costs, people, technology, and internal controls. All recommendations will consider impact on service delivery tim...

COMPASS. The Company and the Union agree that there will be a new format for the annual newsroom performance reviews. The overall performance rating shall be 50% based on core competencies (functional competencies, news judgment, -reporting, -writing/editing /storytelling and -journalism ethics). The other portion of the review focuses on individual goals. The discussion setting goals between the supervisor and employee occurs 15 day before each quarter and should be finalized by the first day of the quarter. In this category, 30% of the performance rating shall be based on journalism specific goals established between the reporter and a supervisor, such as beat coverage, writing, source development, and other areas applicable to the employee’s responsibilities. The remaining 20% of the overall performance rating shall be based on an “audience growth” category that considers performance metrics or other engagement tools to grow audiences and promote the value of The Modesto Bee. This category could consider, among other things, the employee’s efforts to build relationships with the community, the employee’s willingness to adjust coverage to grow subscriptions, and the employee’s ongoing collaborative effort with supervisors to build new readership through newsletters, social media posts, subscription deals, etc. Employees should participate with their editors in decisions about story selection, angles and other elements of coverage. Metric goals such as page-views, conversions and other measure of reader engagement should be part of those conversations, and so should potential impact, community value and The Bee’s high standards for journalism. Employees and editors, by mutual agreement, may chose a goal such as page-views, led- to-conversions, digital subscriptions or others that measure audience growth. It is understood that any agreement to include such metrics shall be optional to the employee. For example, if an employee does not achieve their page-view goal, despite reasonable efforts, they will not lose point in the review unless the reporter chose to include a page -view goal in their review. Appeal process for employee goals: If the employee disagrees with their assigned goals, they may appeal in writing to their immediate supervisor within 5 working days. The decision of the supervisor to adjust or maintain assigned goals must be made within 3 working days, unless extended by mutual consent. If the employee still disagrees, they may appeal to the Managing...
COMPASS. The compass is an essential tool to measure directions and orientation relative to the North, within the horizontal plane. In the VR application, the compass functionality gives this measure in degree (°, ±0.01°), as a positive value comprised between 0 and 359°, following the right hand rule. Figure17: Illustration of the compass functionality, giving a direction relative to North in degree (°) following the right hand rule. Clinometer The other essential tool of the geologist, the clinometer measures the dip or plunge of a surface or a bed, relative to the horizontal plane and within the vertical plane. In the VR application, the functionality gives this measure in degree (°, ±0.01°), as a positive value comprised between 0 and 90°. Figure 18: Illustration of the clinometer functionality, giving the dip relative to the horizontal plane in degree (°, ±0.01°). Multi-user networked mode Collaboration is essential when it comes to field work, where interactions and multiple points of view are key to a better understanding of the characterized features. We therefore take advantage of the immersive rendering and power of the VR technology to replicate field “team-work” by optionally adding a collaborative multi-user mode to the VR application. Several users can therefore simultaneously experience the same virtual environment. Their presence is materialized by an avatar (Fig. 19) indicating their location in the scene in real time, and visible by any other user. Moreover, each of the users present in the virtual environment is able to independently use the aforementioned tools to produce measurements, point structures using the embedded laser pointer, or project Curiosity imagery on the 3D model, and show them off to the other users.
