political campaign Management
1. Situational Appraisal
The world is in a position where we need leadership that is based on competency and being a role model. We live in a time with an awareness of the underlying cognitive, social and motivational factors that affect the democratic decision of countries. These factors in our human nature, being manipulated, has created an opportunity for incompetent individuals to be legitimately voted into positions of power.
The Biden Administration needs an effective response to reduce the coercive manipulation of the US citizens by assessing the existing biases which influence decision making factors and implement a social program to counteract their negative effects.
We have recently seen D. Trump utilized these psychological mechanisms throughout his term as president and has now created a situation where these factors are being used against Biden as President-elect.
It is of utmost urgency for the Biden Administration to take action immediately on the brief list of psychological factors here but also more throughout the agreed term of the retainer for the consulting purposes.

2. Objectives
According to our mutual agreement, the objectives for this project are:
-
Create a training program for agents to go out into the field to teach critical thinking, scientific literacy, and social science using app technology and web based modules.
-
Establish tax percentage write off system as incentive for those who participate in the social/ critical skills educational awareness program
-
Develop web based training modules, contend and consulting services for all business to facilitate the skills and training in the workplace
-
Foster social cohesion events that nurtures critical thinking between difference groups and participate in all existing cultural events
Each of these outcomes will provide the Biden Administration greater control over unforeseen psychological factors which are affecting our freedoms and liberties.
3. Metrics
To measure the progress of each of the objectives, these metrics will be used:
-
Follow up weekly on the progress of the training program and its development. Each month reassess progress based on projected completion within 1 year.
-
Follow each stage of development for incentive programs, troubleshooting and delivery. Make weekly progress reports and meet if necessary to modify the course of action.
-
Follow reporting and course adjustment strategy for development. Have representatives invite workplaces to participate for the business incentive program.
-
Donate for fundraisers and events and develop social media feed based on community involvement.
Most of the measurement will be tracked weekly and adjustments made when necessary.
hat the organization is put together is more important than the specific functioning of one individual member. Developing skills in how the members of the organization interact with each other boosts the talents of each specific member.
The actual problem is the paradigm shift from the old method of interaction to a new one by modifying the interactions between colleagues. When people in positions of power model effective leadership they change the overall effectiveness of the group and the satisfaction of each individual.
4. Value
The ROI on the objectives are stipulated here:
-
Provide accessibility to the general population to educating themselves about cognitive, social and motivational biases that affect their decision making process, perception and beliefs
-
Give voters greater autonomy in understanding the content of political leaders statements and understanding the social and situational factors that requires political action
-
Prevent tyrants, dictators, and other incompetent individuals using societies psychological weakeness’ against them to gain political power
-
Protect the civil liberties in the U.S. constitution by giving people the power of a critical mind that cannot be duped into fallacious thinking and manipulation
-
Create social harmony and reduce division through racism, prejudice and stereotyping by giving people the intellectual tools and awareness to see similarities first when confronted with an ‘outsider’
-
Give people a defense against propaganda and fake news, ensuring that they are not swayed by authoritarian figures with dubious claims and false information
