Causal Model and System Map: Draft Number One


The Question

After a quick team discussion, we decided to answer the question: What causes an employee to be a good fit for the organization?

Causal Model

For our casual model, we had to answer, "What causes an employee to be a good fit for the organization" We started off making a system map for our causal map just to get our ideas out there. It was easy to put everything on a system map but then we had to transfer that information onto a causal model.

We came across a few problems with the causal model. The first was transferring the information from the system map. If you look at our first causal model, we forgot that a causal model is about cause and effect, not what is related to the question. So we had to restart our causal model. Lastly, the second problem was answering the wrong question. We felt like we answered, "How to get hired" instead of "What makes an employee perfect for the organization". We had to change it up a bit so it fit the question.

System Map

This was a different activity. We didn't have to answer the question. We had to talk about Baycrest itself. All of the information we got for the system map, was from Baycrest Health Science home page. We didn't answer the question but we had to get an idea of what Baycrest was all about. The best way was to research and put all our knowledge onto a system map.

We thought we were doing this completely wrong. We made a system map based off of Baycrest Health Science. Then we asked ourselves, "Wouldn't they already know everything about themselves?" We then realized that it wasn't for them, it was for ourselves. We needed it for personal gain and knowledge.

Aha Moments!: Baycrest's Asaf and Rosanne Visits JPCI

Image
On December 13, 2018, Dr. Asaf Gilboa and Dr. Rosanne Aleong went to visit us to hear our thoughts regarding the work that we were currently doing which is the Pro-pro Chart, as aforementioned in the past blog. The process would be: Dr. Asaf and Dr. Rosanne would have time to sit in each group separately to help them express their thoughts and insights freely and without restrictions from each other. This would help us screen the information in a direct communication given by each of them without them framing each other's thoughts, for as we later on discovered, the two of them also have conflicts going on and have their own parts/themes they want to highlight.  We talked to Dr. Asaf Gilboa later after we had talked to Dr. Rosanne. In a short period of time, we found out two things from Dr. Asaf. First, he exhibits that the majority of the students coming into the institution are under the category of raising their hands, estimation of 90% and 10% under tapping shoulder

Interview With Jamison Steeve

Jamison wearing the maroon dress shirt, Nogah on his left. An addition to our trip to UofT, we were given an opportunity to interview Jamison Steeve. Mr. Essabhai and his previous classes have been going to UofT for interviews with other people. He would ask for someone who has an interesting and outstanding career. The purpose of the interview is for us to have guidance or a role model in life. Especially in terms of leadership and career choices. Hopefully, by doing the interview, we acquire a lesson that we can use in our own life. The best candidate is Jamison Steeve. The day before we interviewed Jamison, we were told to email Mr. Essabhai some questions. After, he gave every group a printed out sheet with questions. It was funny to see more than half of the questions Mr. Essabhai printed out, were created by Joshua and Christine. Most of the questions were answered even before it was asked. Jamison had an amazing quote that stood out to us, "Every job has a tax,

Second Draft of Pro-Pro Chart: Where Arguments Break Out After Asaf and Rosanne's comments; Before Mr. Essabhai's comments  2nd Draft of Pro-Pro Chart – Other Institutions 2nd Draft of Pro-Pro Chart – University of Toronto 1st draft Pro-pro Chart  After the meeting we had with Dr. Asaf and Dr. Rosanne, we were faced with the challenge to improve our Pro-pro Chart while taking into account all the information we grasp from them. However, before we had the chance to think about filling out the missing benefit bubble of the Pro-pro Chart and making the existing ones solid and strong, sudden confusion and insight arose. Christine, one of the groupmate rises a point that turned the group into much deeper thinking process. She suggested that the students, one of the stakeholders, that were originally divided as the raising hands and tapping shoulders should be merged as one. This is because she saw that dividing the students would create redundant and flexi
