Some of my long-term goals is to attain a degree in business management. In doing so I wish to start my own company and better myself and those around me. To acquire my first goal I would need to study hard and work harder to achieve my goal, and become very successful. I have heard that Virginia College has the programs I need to get my career started on the right path. I hope to get the skills and guidance while at Virginia College, so when I graduate I could pay it forward with the community around me; by becoming successful and a hard worker. A few years ago it wasn’t always such a big deal if you had any type of degree. Years ago it seemed to be enough that a person had a good work ethic and was loyal to their place of business. However, in today’s competitive world having a degree is becoming more of a necessity. Sometimes it does not matter what type of degree you have but that you have a degree. If you own or plan on owning your business you may want to know if you should get a business management degree. There are many reasons why you would want to get a degree these days compared to just a few as to why you would not want to get a degree in today’s market.

The best reason is that by improving your education and getting a business management degree you will have many more job opportunitioes open up to you. A lot of company’s today believe that a degree is better for all of their employees and they seek out college graduates and those job applicants that have a degree. Sometimes it does not really matter what the degree is in just that you have showed some dedication to getting a degree.

Another good reason why you should get a business management degree is because you may actually start with a better pay grade if you do have a degree. Many companies or businesses like to see people with a degree and will start those job applicants at a higher pay scale than those employees that have worked their way up in the company or do not have a degree.

Having a business management degree will also give you a broad range of current business skills. You will be able to do a variety of jobs in business management. Many college programs focus on other subjects besides what you want to earn your degree in. You will have a business management degree but you will also have studied other subjects and have been shown other areas of business management. With a limited budget, limited resources, and limited supervision, I designed a four-phase strategy to re-evaluate the current website and replace it with an active, path-driven site. The strategy included a review of the company's current navigation and content, a strategic assessment mapping navigation and functionality against corporate and divisional objectives, and the design and architecture of the site. Furthermore, we developed a plan to validate our recommendation with market feedback through client and prospective client focus group interviews. 

The first phase encompassed an overall program review, analysis of all current ADP and industry Internet market research, a web traffic audit, and internal interviews with senior management. In familiarizing ourselves with current industry practices, we also reviewed ten competitors and twelve business-to-business leaders' websites. These 22 sites were carefully evaluated for their relative strengths and weaknesses in the areas of navigation, content, degree of user-centricity, and organization. The second phase included a design exploration. Working together with a web design firm, we developed five different design options. In phase three, we gathered market feedback through focus group interviews conducted with both clients and prospects based on the current web site and on the new design options. The final phase involved feedback-based revisions to the designs, which will be presented to ADP's Executive Committee in April and launched in May 2000.

The project was a success. Our recommendation was received with exceedingly positive feedback by both the business units and the Executive Vice President of Marketing. In addition, I have been awarded with the honor of presenting the project to the Executive Committee in April. Our long-term goal is to develop an entire adp.com team dedicated to servicing clients and marketing on the Internet.

The management skills I have gained from this project have been invaluable to my career growth. I have learned the value of qualitative and quantitative research, experience in fiscal management and project management, and the importance of matching corporate strategy to Internet strategy. More importantly, the experience has taught me the value of gathering senior management "buy in" through the progression of a project. I was able to successfully gain the support of senior management by maintaining open communication and making them part of the process. Ultimately, this support was critical to the success of the project, which has brought my department and me increased visibility within the company -- a development that, in turn, has led to more important projects. Through the success of adp.com, I am now regarded as an effective and respected manager who has the ability to analyze and lead complex projects from concept to completion while gaining the support of senior management
