planning online communication project management management research new product developmentLooking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Ohio University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on your project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Learners in this program/experience cover some of the basic issues related to, and tools used for, managing projects and the course provides an opportunity for students to learn the application of tools and concepts of project management. Often, we are involved with developing a new system, a new product, planning an event, or participating in an undertaking that we cannot simply repeat things we have done in our past experience. As such, they require a unique approach to management and administration, it is important to understand and appreciate the techniques and concepts used for successful project management.
Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
- A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations
