ORGANIZATIONAL PROTOCOLS

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you MUST be able to:
1. Identify the different concerns to be considered in developing organizational protocols.
2. Enumerate the different protocols for presenting relevant information.
A well-established and transparent organizational protocol will attract referrals, prospective clients will
be assured to be treated equally, and clients will have realistic expectations. The more organized,
systematic and thorough you are in the initial entry and assessment process, the less capacity for
misunderstandings later on. Hence, an organization protocol should be developed and include the
following concerns:
Levels of transparency: The question inevitably arises as to the degree of openness that an organization
should maintain. Decisions about policy determination as to what constitutes internal vs. external
categories of information.
Identifying the recipients: An effective dissemination strategy requires advance identification of the
intended information recipients and of their particular needs. The time spent in identifying and
periodically updating the list of eventual end-users is time well spent.
An emphasis on reporting: Many staff, in setting priorities, often accord low status to the reporting
function. “I’ll get to it when I have time” is all too often the response to a request for information.
Emergency response organizations should, as a preparedness measure, establish and communicate to all
staff their expectations concerning reporting requirements.
Use of coordination structures for information dissemination: Emergency management organizations
seek to coordinate their activities for a wide number of reasons:
 Improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness and speed of humanitarian assistance
 A framework for strategic decision-making on issues of common concern
 A unified strategic approach to humanitarian assistance
 Elimination of gaps and duplication in services to meet the needs of the affected populations;
and
 Appropriate division of responsibilities.
Examples of Protocols for Presenting Relevant Information

1. Hand-outs on the topic are always beneficial. Clients like to follow along with the information you are
presenting.
2. Do not read from your handouts rather use them as an adjunct to the information you are sharing with
them.
3. Use relevant case studies to exemplify your point.
4. Make sure information presented is current.
5. Use various forms of visual aids: (overheads, power point, videos etc.)
6. Allow some time for the client to ask questions, either during or after the presentation.
7. Arrive a few minutes before your presentation begins to make sure everything is in place: the
equipment is set up to your liking, equipment is working properly etc.
8. Make sure you have verified the facts presented in your presentation.
SELF-CHECK 6.1-1

INFORMATION SHEET 6.1-2
CONFIDENTIALITY AND ACCURACY

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you MUST be able to:

1. Define confidentiality and accuracy


2. Identify the different ways to assure confidentiality of information
3. Identify the different ways to verify the accuracy of data

Confidentiality
Confidential information is any data within the organization that should not be
spread out externally. Nowadays, in the business world, confidential
information such as pricing, marketing plans, customer lists are critical business
assets that could be compromised if the handling fails.
The following are ways to protect the confidentiality of information:
1. Insert non-disclosure provisions in employment agreements. It is a best practice that employees
who have access to confidential information sign an employment contract which contains non-disclosure
provisions.
2. Control access. For any information that’s stored digitally it’s incredibly important that you control
access to it by using passwords, firewalls and encryption.
3. Use confidential waste bins and shredders. If you need to dispose of sensitive documents, then be
sure to shred them or use a confidential waste bin.
4. Lockable document storage cabinets. To provide an added level of protection, it’s also a good idea to
keep any lockable storage cabinets in a locked room that cannot be accessed by everyone.
5. Secure delivery of confidential documents. If it’s physical documents that need to be delivered, then
it’s a good idea to use a trusted courier service or ideally have them delivered by someone you trust
within your organization.
6. Employee training. When training your employees about protecting confidential information, it’s a
good idea to start first with explaining why data confidentiality is so important and then provide training
about the practical aspects of data protection i.e. using secure passwords, destroying of documents etc.

Accuracy
Generally, accuracy means freedom from errors. It also refers to the closeness of the information from the
truth or fact, hence, diligence in verifying the records is needed.
Identify the source causing the inaccuracies
Data inaccuracy can result from the movement of data from one database to another, incorrect values or
time-bound changes. .
Use the latest software
Utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) can reduce
the inaccuracy in data to vast extent.
Double-check the data with reviews
Reviewing can go a long way in minimizing errors in data entry.
Avoid overloading your team
Make sure that your team is not under pressure to achieve unrealistic data entry targets. Overloading your
data entry team can make them tired.
Try out automated error reports
Automated error reports are great to use when you are entering the same kind of data. For instance, a
social security number has nine digits.
Provide training to your employees
Make sure that your team of data entry professionals understands the importance of the data that they are
entering.
Adhere to robust data entry accuracy standards
Try to adopt robust data entry standards such as, geo-coding, matching, data monitoring, data profiling
and linking to name a few.

REVIEWING DATA/INFORMATION

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you MUST be able to:

1. Identify the different parameters to be reviewed in a set of data


2. Define the different parameters needed to be considered in the review of data.

The validity, completeness, consistency, accuracy and verifiability of any data or information should not
be taken for granted on any organization. The quality of your data establishes the trust of your clients and
investors, also it becomes the basis of some decisions such as programmatic and financial- with an erratic
data, the decision might lead to worse.

The data should be reviewed with the following parameters:

Validity
Validity implies precise and exact results acquired from the data collected. In technical terms, a
measure can lead to a proper and correct conclusions to be drawn from the sample that are generalizable
to the entire population. Basically, validity means that the data mean what they are supposed to mean

2. Non-approved sampling
3. Inconsistent reporting periods
How grantees/commissions should assess data completeness:
– Keep a list of data submissions
– Check source documentation
– Request data at consistent intervals

Consistency
The extent to which data are collected using the same procedures and definitions across collectors and
sites over time.
Potential Problems:
1. No standard definitions/methodologies
2. Lack of knowledge about required procedures and/or failure to follow them
3. Staff turnover
How grantees/commissions should assess data consistency:
– Request written data collection procedures; ask about dissemination/implementation
– Cross-compare definitions and protocols

Accuracy

The extent to which data appear to be free from significant errors.

BASIC BUSINESS MATH

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you MUST be able to:

1. Identify the basic concepts in business math.


2. Compute percentage problems
3. Compute simple and compound interests

Percentage Problems
In business, percentages are mostly used in representing discounts, profits and in item inventory (sold-out
percentage). The general formula of solving percentages is presented below:

part
%= x 100
whole
[Equation 1]

part
whole= x 100
%
[Equation 2]
%
part= x whole
100
[Equation 3]

Example 1. The total production cost of an item is Php 125. If it was sold for Php 150, what percentage
of the production cost is the profit for each item?

Given:
Production cost = Php 125
Selling Price = Php 150

First step: Calculate for the profit

Php 150- Php 125 = Php 25

Second Step: Calculate for the percentage using Equation 1


25
%= x 100
125
%=0.2 x 100
%=20 %

Conclusion: Hence, the profit is 20% of the total production cost.


Example 2. What percentage of Php134 is Php 21?
Given:
Part = Php 21
Whole= Php 134
First Step: Calculate for the percentage using Equation 1

21
%= x 100
134
%=0.1567 x 100
%=15.67 %

Conclusion: Hence, Php 21 is 15.67% of Php 134

Example 3. A Php 67 coat is on sale for 20% off. How much is the coat after the discount?

First step: Solve for the 20% of Php 67 using Equation 3.

20 %
part= x 67
100
part=0.20 x 67
part (discount )=Php 13.4
Second step: Deduct the discount from the selling price
Final price=Php 67−Php 13.4
Final price=Php 53.6
Conclusion: The final price of the coat is Php 53.60

Example 4 . Andrew was selling juice cups, if he wants to sell it at Php 8.50 and wants this price to be
55% of his production cost, how much should his budget be for the production of each cup?

First step: Solve for his production cost using Equation 2

8.50
whole= x 100
25 %
whole=0.34 x 100
whole=Php 34

Conclusion: Hence, the production cost to be prepared per cup is Php 34.

Simple Interests
Simple interest is a quick and easy method of calculating the interest charge on a loan. Simple interest is
determined by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal by the number of days that elapse
between payments.

I =Principal x Rate x Time


[Equation 4]

Example 1: Php 34,100 at 4% for 3 years

Step 1: Convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it to 100


4/100= 0.04

Step 2: Compute the interest using Equation 4

I =34,100 x 0.04 x 3
I =Php 4,092

Example 2: Php 8,700 at 3.25% for 3 years

Step 1: Convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it to 100


3.25/100= 0.0325

Step 2: Compute the interest using Equation 4

I =8700 x 0.0325 x 3
I =Php 848.25

Compound Interest
Compound interest (or compounding interest) is interest calculated on the initial principal, which also
includes all of the accumulated interest of previous periods of a deposit or loan.
nt
r
A=P(1+ )
n
[Equation 5]
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t
t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for
Example 1: If an amount of Php 5,000 is deposited into a savings account at an annual interest rate of
5%, compounded monthly, calculate the value of the investment after 10 years.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it to 100
5/100= 0.05

Step 2: Compute the future value of the investment


12(10)
0.05
A=5000(1+ )
12
A=Php8235.05
Example 2. An amount of Php 1,500.00 is deposited in a bank paying an annual interest rate of 4.3%,
compounded quarterly. What is the balance after 6 years?

Step 1: Convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it to 100


4.3/100= 0.043

Step 2: Compute the future value of the investment


4 (6)
0.043
A=1500(1+ )

INFORMATION SHEET 6.2-2
BASIC STATISTICS FOR DATA ANALYSIS

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you MUST be able to:

1. Identify the different measures of central tendency


2. Identify the different measures of dispersion
3. Calculate the mean, median, mode, variance and standard deviation
4. Identify the application for each data analysis techniques.
Statistical methods are mainly useful to ensure that your data are interpreted correctly. And that apparent
relationships are really “significant” or meaningful and it is not simply happen by chance. Actually, the
statistical analysis helps to find meaning to the meaningless numbers.
Measures of Central Tendency
A measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the
central position within that set of data. As such, measures of central tendency are sometimes called
measures of central location. They are also classed as summary statistics. The mean (often called the
average) is most likely the measure of central tendency that you are most familiar with, but there are
others, such as the median and the mode.

Mean
The mean (or average) is the most popular and well known measure of central tendency. It can be used
with both discrete and continuous data, although its use is most often with continuous data.

Example 1. The daily profit was listed on the table below, find the average profit within the last 5 days.

Day Profit In Php


1 3200

2 3000

3 2450

4 3100

5 2563

3200+3000+2450+3100+2563
Average=
5
14313
Average=
5
Average=2862.60
Hence, the average of the profit within the last 5 days is Php 2862.60.

Median
The median is the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in order of magnitude. The median
is less affected by outliers and skewed data as compared to the mean.

For instance, the salary of the staff are presented above, the mean of the salary is at 30.7K. However,
inspecting the raw data suggests that this mean value might not be the best way to accurately reflect the
typical salary of a worker, as most workers have salaries in the 12k to 18k range. The mean is being
skewed by the two large salaries. Therefore, in this situation, taking the median as the middle term would
be much better.
Example 1. Take the mean of the salaries presented above.

First step: Arrange the data from least to greatest

12k, 14k, 15k, 15k, 15k, 16k, 17k, 18k, 90k, 95k
1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1

Since there are two numbers in the middle, you have to take the average of the two to get the median.

15 k +16 k
Median=
2

Median=15.5 k
Example 2. The daily profit was listed on the table below, find the average profit within the last 5 days.
Day Profit In Php

1 3200

2 3000

3 2450

4 3100

5 2563

First step: Arrange the data from least to greatest and look for the middle term.
2450, 2563, 3000, 3100, 3200
1 2 3 2 1
Hence, the median of the profit is Php 3000.

Mode
The mode is the most frequent score in our data set. On a histogram it represents the highest bar in a bar
chart or histogram. You can, therefore, sometimes consider the mode as being the most popular option.
An example of a mode is presented below:

Example 1. The items on your store and the frequency of them being sold within the week are listed
down. Identify the mode.

Items Selling Frequency

Pants 6

Shorts 10

T-shirts 30

Under wears 20

Based on the right column, the item that has the highest selling frequency is the t-shirts, hence the mode
of the data is “T-shirts.”

Measures of Dispersion
Measures of dispersion measure how spread out a set of data is. There are two measures of dispersion:
variance and standard deviation.

Variance of a Population (σ2)


Variance is the average of the squared differences from the mean. The formula of variance is given
below:
2
2 Σ(x −μ)
σ =
n
Where:
x= term given
μ= Mean
n= number of terms

Example 1. The daily profit was listed on the table below, find how spread out the profit is within the last
5 days.

Day Profit In Php

1 3200

2 3000

3 2450

4 3100

5 2563

Step 1: Solve for the mean

3200+3000+ 2450+3100+2563
μ=
5
μ=2862.60

Step 2: Make a table to summarize your solution

x μ x- μ (x- μ)2

3200 2862.60 337.4 113,838.76

3000 2862.60 137.40 18,878.76

2450 2862.60 -412.60 170,238.76

3100 2862.60 237.40 56,358.76

2563 2862.60 -299.60 89,760.16

Σ 449,075.20

Step 3: Compute for the variance using the formula


2
Σ(x −μ)
σ 2=
n
2 449,075.20
σ =
5
2
σ =89815.04
Standard Deviation of a Population (σ)
The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are. Its symbol is σ. The formula is easy: it is the
square root of the Variance.

So, to continue our previous example, the standard deviation of the profits is
σ =√ 89815.04
σ =299.69
So, using the Standard Deviation we have a "standard" way of knowing what is normal, and what extra
high or extra low is.
The mean of the profits is Php 2862.60, if you add the standard deviation, the sum would be Php 3162.29.
This only means that any profit higher than Php 3162.29 is extra high. Hence, the profit in Day 1 (Php
3200), is higher than the average.
If you subtract the standard deviation on the mean, the result is Php 2562.91, means that any profit below
this is extra low. It means that the profit in Day 3 (Php 2450) is especially lower and you need to
investigate as to why the profit is low at that time.

REPORTING OF DATA FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you MUST be able to:

1. Trace the process of data reporting


2. Determine the significance of data reporting
3. Determine three key steps to building an analysis that helps uncover business insights

Data Monitoring and Reporting System


Data reporting starts by monitoring an organization’s statistics through tables, graphs and charts.
How Data Analysis Helps You Find Answers
Data analysis is the process of examining data with the goal of answering a business question that
supports decision-making. An analysis can reveal powerful insights if you are able to uncover why
something is happening and what you can do about it.
Here are three key steps to building an analysis that helps uncover insights:

1. Start With Specific Questions. Example: Instead of asking “How will I improve the business’
performance?” ask “Where in the sales are my higher performers spending their time vs. lower
performers?”
2. Identify Data Sources. Using the example above, you can determine that you’ll need sales data,
specifically time allocation by each rep within each stage of the production or process.
3. Interpret Results. “Does the data answer my question and defend against any objections? How?”

INFORMATION SHEET 6.3-2
REPORTING TO A RANGE OF AUDIENCE

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you MUST be able to:

1. Identify the different reporting techniques to be used in a range of audience


2. Make a slideshow presentation for data reporting
3. Determine the correct chart or graph to use.

1. Show your Passion and Connect with your Audience


-Great presenters starts off with the most important thing to connect with the audience, and the best way
to do that is to let your passion shine through.
2. Focus on your Audience’s Needs
-Your presentation needs to be built around what your audience is going to get out of the presentation.

3. Keep it Simple: Concentrate on your Core Message


When planning your presentation, you should always keep in mind the question:
What is the key message (or three key points) for my audience to take away?
You should be able to communicate that key message very briefly.
4. Smile and Make Eye Contact with your Audience
If you smile and make eye contact, you are building rapport, which helps the audience to connect with
you and your subject. It also helps you to feel less nervous, because you are talking to individuals, not to
a great mass of unknown people.
5. Start Strongly
The beginning of your presentation is crucial. You need to grab your audience’s attention and hold it.
6. Know the correct chart or graph to use.
1) Vertical Bar Charts

As for this chart, respondents were only able to select one distinct option making its cross analysis with
happiness perfect for a vertical bar chart.

2) Horizontal Bar Charts


The horizontal bar chart is used when comparing the mean or percentages of 8 or more different groups.
As with the vertical bar chart, the horizontal bar chart should only be used when comparing categories
that are mutually exclusive. In this chart, more than 7 categories of candy were measured independently
and are being compared to one another.
3) Pie Charts

Pie charts are best used to illustrate a sample break down in a single dimension. In other words, it is best
to use pie charts when you want to show differences within groups based on one variable. In the example
above, we broke down the sample group into different age groups in order to show the significance of age
on cotton candy sales. It is important to remember that pie charts should only be used with a group of
categories that combine to make up a whole.

4) Line Charts

Line charts are used to illustrate trends over time. This is done most often to measure the long term
progression of sales, or any other empirical statistic important to businesses or organizations. It can also
be used to compare two different variables over time. In our example, we see how the increased
government funding in healthy living correlates with candy sales over the span of 5 years.

5) Scatter Plot
Scatter plots are used to depict how different objects settle around a mean based on 2 to 3 different
dimensions. This allows for quick and easy comparisons between competing variables. In our example
chart above we can see how each candy compares to one another based on its cost to make and selling
price. As a viewer, one can quickly reference the difference between two objects or its relation to the
average, which is shown as the large square on the chart.

6) Histogram

Like pie charts, histograms break down the sample distribution in one dimension. The real difference
between histograms and other forms of charts is that histograms are ideal for illustrating sample
distributions on dimensions measured with discrete intervals. Unlike horizontal and vertical bar charts,
the x-axis is not divided into mutually exclusive categories
