City of Portland Citizen Reports

By City of Portland released on: 2010-01-29T12:40:38Z

PDX Reporter is a direct result of Mayor Adams and the City of Portland's call for more open data and interactions with the residents of Portland. PDX Reporter may be used to report and request service calls to city assets and infrastructure, including issues with parks, pot holes, traffic lights, street lights, catch basins, and graffiti. Additional city assets and service request types will be added over time.

To submit an issue, select the type of issue to report, take a photo (or upload an existing one), locate the issue via GPS or interactive map and add any additional comments. The report is sent directly to the responsible bureau for resolution. Users of this app can also view issues they have previously submitted and check the status or resolution of the issue.

PDX Reporter is a small but important step in allowing residents to participate in expediting the City of Portland's awareness and resolution of various issues. PDX Reporter is available for free within the Apple iOS App Store.

Leadership and Values (by Concordia University)

By Concordia University - Portland released on: 2010-09-25T12:06:17Z

Leadership and Values. As a leader, your actions and decisions are informed and constrained by your core values. Core values are the nonnegotiable philosophical underpinnings that influence your decisions and remain stable through environmental changes.

This app allows you to consider 52 common leadership values and add one or two of your own. Through a series of forced-choice activities, you will select and make explicit your five top core leadership values.

Remember that your core values are "values-in-use," not espoused values (those you say you use) or aspirational values (those you wish to use). Values-in-use are those values that you regularly use, consciously and subconsciously, in making leadership decisions.


FEATURES
Choose between 52 common leadership values.
Add up to two leadership values that you believe to be among your core values.
Through a process of forced-choice, identify your top five core leadership values.
Receive an inspirational quote for each of your core leadership values.
Find an historical figure that shares each of your core leadership values.
Share your five core leadership values with your friends via email, twitter or facebook.
Find information on undergraduate and graduate programs that will assist you in leveraging your core values to transformational leadership.
