Treating Business Practices as Prototypes. In this small, team-based, multidisciplinary class, students will work in dyads or larger teams. They will apply the design process to specific practices (like talent management, organizational design, and communication with external stakeholders) in organizations that may include a software firm, a professional services firm, and an airline, and treating the targeted practices as prototypes. The course will provide hands-on experience in collaboration and design, in the context of tackling real problems in real businesses.
