Running head: TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
2
Below is an example of an APA 7th edition paper format.
**Title of Paper**
Student Name
Capella University
Course Number: Name of Course
Prof. Name
Date
**Title of Your Paper**
Your introductory paragraph opens your paper
**.** Begin your paper with the paper title at the top of the first page of the text. This Level 1 heading is centered and bolded in the title. Introduce your topic, giving relevant details such as who it affects and where and for how long it has been an issue. End this paragraph with your
**thesis statement or question.**
**Topic Overview (Level 1 Heading)**
The first line of each paragraph of your paper begins with a ½” indentation. (Use the Tab button.) Do not label headings with numbers or letters.
**Each new section of your paper should have a new Level 1 heading**. For example, if your sections are
**Topic Overview, Topic Discussion, Current Status, and Potential Solutions,** those sections would all have the same heading level (Level 1 headings).
**Background and History**
Give the important background facts and historical context of your topic here. Cite the foundational documents, court cases, news events, or study findings that allow your reader to develop an idea of the scope and depth of your topic. Each in-text citation should include the author's
**_last name only_** and the year of publication in parentheses at the beginning or the end of the cited statement like this (Lastname, YEAR).
**Topic Discussion**
Now begin a more detailed discussion of the finer points of your topic and your particular position, argument, or point of view on the subject. Support your argument or position with further in-text citations from a variety of reputable, credible, and authoritative sources. Remember that
**_every source you cite in the text of your paper_** **_must also appear in the bibliography (References page) at the end of your paper._**
**Counterargument (Level 2 heading)**
Level 2 headings are left-justified and bolded. They are used for subtopics of Level 1 headings. If you present an argument in your topic discussion, you may present a counter-argument for balance.
**Rebuttal (Level 2 heading)**
If there is a rebuttal to the counter-argument, give the rebuttal its own Level 2 Heading.
Below is an example of some specifics that may help you write a plan proposal:
**Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal**
Write a brief introduction (2 to 3 sentences) to your proposal that outlines the issue you are attempting to solve, the part of the organization in which the plan would be carried out, and the desired outcome. This will set the stage for the sections below.
**Objective**
Describe what your plan will do and what you hope it will accomplish in one or two succinct sentences. Also, comment on how the objective, if achieved, will improve organizational or patient outcomes. For example:
_Test a double-loop feedback model for evaluating new product risk with a small group of project managers to reduce the number of new products that fail to launch. This objective aligns with the broader organizational goal of becoming more efficient in taking products to market and, if successful, should improve outcomes by reducing waste._
**Questions and Predictions**
For this section ask yourself 3 to 5 questions about your objective and your overall plan. Predict each question by answering the question you posed. This helps you to define the important aspects of your plan as well as limit the scope and check its ability to be implemented.
For example:
1.
_How much time will using a double-loop feedback model add to a project manager’s workload?_
a. At first, it will likely increase their workloads by 5 to 10 percent. However, as the process is refined and project managers become more familiar and efficient, that percentage will decrease.
**Change Theories and Leadership Strategies**
For this section, you may wish to draw upon the research you did regarding change theories and leadership for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. The focus of this section is how those best practices will create buy-in for the project from an interdisciplinary team, improve their collaboration, and/or foster the team’s ability to implement the plan. Be sure that you include at least one change theory and at least one leadership strategy in your explanation. Always remember to cite your sources; direct quotes require quotation marks and a page or paragraph number to be included in the citation.
Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:
· What is the theory or strategy?
· How will it likely help an interdisciplinary team to collaborate, implement, and/or buy into the project plan?
· Make sure to frame this explanation within the organizational context of the proposed plan, that is, your interviewee’s organization.
**Team Collaboration Strategy**
In this section, begins by further defining the responsibilities and actions that represent the implementation of the plan. One strategy for defining this is to take a “
_who_,
_what_,
_where_, and
_when”_ approach for each team member.
For example:
·
_Project Manager A will apply the double-loop feedback model on one new product project for a single quarter._
·
_Project Manager B will apply the double-loop feedback model on all new product projects for a quarter._
_Vice President A will review the workloads of project managers using the double-loop feedback model every Thursday for one quarter._
After you have roughly outlined the roles and responsibilities of team members, you will explain one or more collaborative approaches that will enable the team to work efficiently to achieve the plan’s objective. As with the change theories and leadership strategies, you may draw on the research you conducted for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. However, you are being asked to give a more in-depth explanation of the collaboration approaches and look at how they will help the theoretical interdisciplinary team in your plan proposal.
Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:
· What is the collaboration approach?
· What types of collaboration and teamwork will best help the interdisciplinary team be successful?
· How is the collaboration approach relevant to the team’s needs and will it help drive success?
· Make sure to frame this explanation in terms of the subject of the plan proposal; that is, your interviewee’s organization.
**Required Organizational Resources**
For this section, you will be making rough estimates of the resources needed for your plan proposal to be successful. This section does not have to be exact but the estimates should be realistic for the chosen organization.
Items you should include or address in this section:
· What are the staffing needs for your plan proposal?
· What equipment or supplies are needed for your plan proposal?
· Does the organization already have these?
· If so, what is the cost associated with using these resources?
· If not, what is the cost of acquiring these resources?
· What access (to patients, departments, and so forth) is needed?
· Are there any costs associated with these?
· What is the overall financial budget request for the plan proposal?
· Staff time, resource use, resource acquisition, and access charged?
· Remember to include a specific dollar amount in your request.
After you have detailed your budget, make sure that you explain any impacts on organizational resources that could happen if your plan is not undertaken and successful. In other words, if the issue you are try to solve through your plan proposal persists or gets worse, what will be the potential costs to the organization?
**Conclusion**
Conclude your paper by summing up and re-stating your point. A final quote from a relevant source may be used here. Now is the time to bring home your argument by tying together all the threads you’ve woven in the course of your paper –
**_not_** the time to introduce a new argument or thesis. Be sure to check your References page to be sure that it shows all the sources used in your paper, and that
**your References page**
**_does not_** **list any sources that you didn’t cite in the text of your paper.** Good luck with your project. Visit the

For this section ask yourself 3 to 5 questions about your objective and your overall plan. Predict each question by answering the question you posed. This helps you to define the important aspects of your plan as well as limit the scope and check its ability to be implemented.
For example:
1.
_How much time will using a double-loop feedback model add to a project manager’s workload?_
a. At first, it will likely increase their workloads by 5 to 10 percent. However, as the process is refined and project managers become more familiar and efficient, that percentage will decrease.
**Change Theories and Leadership Strategies**
For this section, you may wish to draw upon the research you did regarding change theories and leadership for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. The focus of this section is how those best practices will create buy-in for the project from an interdisciplinary team, improve their collaboration, and/or foster the team’s ability to implement the plan. Be sure that you include at least one change theory and at least one leadership strategy in your explanation. Always remember to cite your sources; direct quotes require quotation marks and a page or paragraph number to be included in the citation.
Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:
· What is the theory or strategy?
· How will it likely help an interdisciplinary team to collaborate, implement, and/or buy into the project plan?
· Make sure to frame this explanation within the organizational context of the proposed plan, that is, your interviewee’s organization.
**Team Collaboration Strategy**
In this section, begins by further defining the responsibilities and actions that represent the implementation of the plan. One strategy for defining this is to take a “
_who_,
_what_,
_where_, and
_when”_ approach for each team member.
For example:
·
_Project Manager A will apply the double-loop feedback model on one new product project for a single quarter._
·
_Project Manager B will apply the double-loop feedback model on all new product projects for a quarter._
_Vice President A will review the workloads of project managers using the double-loop feedback model every Thursday for one quarter._
After you have roughly outlined the roles and responsibilities of team members, you will explain one or more collaborative approaches that will enable the team to work efficiently to achieve the plan’s objective. As with the change theories and leadership strategies, you may draw on the research you conducted for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. However, you are being asked to give a more in-depth explanation of the collaboration approaches and look at how they will help the theoretical interdisciplinary team in your plan proposal.
Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following:
· What is the collaboration approach?
· What types of collaboration and teamwork will best help the interdisciplinary team be successful?
· How is the collaboration approach relevant to the team’s needs and will it help drive success?
· Make sure to frame this explanation in terms of the subject of the plan proposal; that is, your interviewee’s organization.
**Required Organizational Resources**
For this section, you will be making rough estimates of the resources needed for your plan proposal to be successful. This section does not have to be exact but the estimates should be realistic for the chosen organization.
Items you should include or address in this section:
· What are the staffing needs for your plan proposal?
· What equipment or supplies are needed for your plan proposal?
· Does the organization already have these?
· If so, what is the cost associated with using these resources?
· If not, what is the cost of acquiring these resources?
· What access (to patients, departments, and so forth) is needed?
· Are there any costs associated with these?
· What is the overall financial budget request for the plan proposal?
· Staff time, resource use, resource acquisition, and access charged?
· Remember to include a specific dollar amount in your request.
After you have detailed your budget, make sure that you explain any impacts on organizational resources that could happen if your plan is not undertaken and successful. In other words, if the issue you are try to solve through your plan proposal persists or gets worse, what will be the potential costs to the organization?
**Conclusion**
Conclude your paper by summing up and re-stating your point. A final quote from a relevant source may be used here. Now is the time to bring home your argument by tying together all the threads you’ve woven in the course of your paper –
**_not_** the time to introduce a new argument or thesis. Be sure to check your References page to be sure that it shows all the sources used in your paper, and that
**your References page**
**_does not_** **list any sources that you didn’t cite in the text of your paper.** Good luck with your project. Visit the

Running head: TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
2
Below is an example of an APA 7th edition paper format.
**Title of Paper**
Student Name
Capella University
Course Number: Name of Course
Prof. Name
Date
**Title of Your Paper**
Your introductory paragraph opens your paper
**.** Begin your paper with the paper title at the top of the first page of the text. This Level 1 heading is centered and bolded in the title. Introduce your topic, giving relevant details such as who it affects and where and for how long it has been an issue. End this paragraph with your
**thesis statement or question.**
**Topic Overview (Level 1 Heading)**
The first line of each paragraph of your paper begins with a ½” indentation. (Use the Tab button.) Do not label headings with numbers or letters.
**Each new section of your paper should have a new Level 1 heading**. For example, if your sections are
**Topic Overview, Topic Discussion, Current Status, and Potential Solutions,** those sections would all have the same heading level (Level 1 headings).
**Background and History**
Give the important background facts and historical context of your topic here. Cite the foundational documents, court cases, news events, or study findings that allow your reader to develop an idea of the scope and depth of your topic. Each in-text citation should include the author's
**_last name only_** and the year of publication in parentheses at the beginning or the end of the cited statement like this (Lastname, YEAR).
**Topic Discussion**
Now begin a more detailed discussion of the finer points of your topic and your particular position, argument, or point of view on the subject. Support your argument or position with further in-text citations from a variety of reputable, credible, and authoritative sources. Remember that
**_every source you cite in the text of your paper_** **_must also appear in the bibliography (References page) at the end of your paper._**
**Counterargument (Level 2 heading)**
Level 2 headings are left-justified and bolded. They are used for subtopics of Level 1 headings. If you present an argument in your topic discussion, you may present a counter-argument for balance.
**Rebuttal (Level 2 heading)**
If there is a rebuttal to the counter-argument, give the rebuttal its own Level 2 Heading.
Below is an example of some specifics that may help you write a plan proposal:
**Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal**
Write a brief introduction (2 to 3 sentences) to your proposal that outlines the issue you are attempting to solve, the part of the organization in which the plan would be carried out, and the desired outcome. This will set the stage for the sections below.
**Objective**
Describe what your plan will do and what you hope it will accomplish in one or two succinct sentences. Also, comment on how the objective, if achieved, will improve organizational or patient outcomes. For example:
_Test a double-loop feedback model for evaluating new product risk with a small group of project managers to reduce the number of new products that fail to launch. This objective aligns with the broader organizational goal of becoming more efficient in taking products to market and, if successful, should improve outcomes by reducing waste._
