A521.5.4.RB_OyeyemiOlusanya

Base on the readings in the Denning text and the assessment you took in A521.5.1 identify in detail the process of developing and aligning organizational values. Identify the three basic components of an ethical community and discuss how they might be applied in your organization. Are there values that are missing from your organization?
Discuss how you might develop those values and also align them with the values of the individuals in the organization.

If companies want to embody certain values, then they have to begin by ascertaining what values are currently operational. Only then can they decide which value they want to change and how to go about it Stephen. (2011, P.136). 

The first step is to identify which value are lacking in the organization, followed by ways to align it. For instance, in my present organization (US Navy), In terms of ethical value, they have all you can think off to put it under control and are operational. Taking care of their personnel family, they have the best program. The foundation of USN was built on trust, in all their trainings, they taught their personnel how to be self confidence in doing their job as a professional at the same time how to work together as a team. They establish Loyalty with continuity in their training, repetition make their training a reality, never assume but train over and over again. In Navy, you are never alone. No one stands watch alone there is always someone to watch your back and you need to trust each other and be loyal to each other. In addition, their custom of transferability is a good system that does not make any personnel a subservient to another. Your benefits are not control by your immediate boss. The day you resume in a command, you already know the day you are going to leave the command. Navy train you so that you can train someone else, because of the effectiveness of all these over centuries, has sustains Navy loyalties and Trust amidst her personnel.

Solidarity, it is only in the Navy I have ever seen people been punished for the misfortune of others. Personnel are train to look out for each other, share phone numbers, know individual home addresses and study the mood of other shipmate. If you see your shipmate lonely from usual behavior and do not ready to open up to you, you are to report to your superior officer before he does something stupid to him/herself or to others. When you are oversea, you never allowed to go to town alone at least one buddy. If your partner misbehaves in town, all of you in that group are going to be punished for it. With my Ten years of working experience and two and half in Navy, It is only in Navy I have seen it, that personnel will be release from work to go and help other colleagues move to his new apartment. If you are foreigner, since you become citizen through Navy, to visit your home country you have to process it officially because they are concern about your safety. They provide all possible logistic for your safe trip. On the aspect of ethical value, USN has a reasonable percentage, they are not awarded 100 percent because it is not feasible for any organization. To the best of my understanding, USN still have the best ethical standard structure in place that go beyond requirement and I can not think of any missing value.
