Another application of this exercise is related to the leader’s role in processes such as applications for accreditation, specialty certification, and regulatory review. As part of the process, your organization will be required to demonstrate and provide evidence that the organization meets requirements or standards. The data and information that demonstrate that you meet the standard are often found in a variety of systems. The leader and the team must locate the information and then assemble it in a specific order as required by the accreditation or regulatory body involved. For the portfolio assignment, you are required to locate a set of documents and other information and place it in a specific order. This simulates one type of process you may encounter.Recall that in NR631, you started assembling the portfolio by including information and documents that were part of the first CGE course. For this final portfolio assignment, you will add to what you started in NR631 by adding assignments you completed in NR632.
