Description: There is a saying that those who fail to prepare are condemned to fight the last battle. Too often, professionals are consumed by their day-to-day tasks, focusing on their strengths and what worked in the past, unaware that expectations are changing. In other words, theyā€™re stuck in the past, the last battle, and donā€™t anticipate what the market will soon require. This is a course about transformation, developing a ā€œlong-term consistent strategy and visionā€ to ensure students are consistently ā€œreinventingā€ themselves as uncertainty and complexity increase and expectations evolve. This course doesnā€™t just cover how to make a personal change. In addition, it will place students in the role of CEO to establish a vision and build a strategy to achieve organizational change.

Review: ā€œAll in all this was a very good course. Jeremy Ghez is a bright and inspiring teacher. The content of the course was extremely interesting and well put together. I would have certainly enjoyed to have some sections of the course expanded, which was my only disappointment. I thought the assignments were very well handled.ā€ For additional reviews, click here.
