The courses are designed for individuals who already have basic business knowledge and experience.
Overview and Benefits This eight-week, non-credit Program is designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge needed to optimize their business. The output of each process (class) flows into the others. • Week 1 - Strategic Planning Skills: Optimization starts with effective planning. Whether you are creating your first strategic plan or reviewing the direction of an organization, this course will help you clarify and set goals. Strategic/critical thinking, including the use of business intelligence data to drive decision-making, will also be analyzed. • Week 2 - Managing Organizational Goals: Organizational goals can often get lost in layers of management without being communicated to individual contributors. In the absence of goals, employees can feel unmotivated or even set their own goals for achievement, resulting in poor and conflicting team performance. In this course, you will develop skills needed to establish tactical goals for your team based on organizational directives and general goals from management, prompting you to create and manage action plans to achieve such goals. • Week 3 - Business Ethics: Pausing in the pursuit of setting strategy, participants review the role moral beliefs play in business assessments. Making the right decisions for the right reasons is critical to smart business growth. This course will also briefly discuss how business ethics influence the strategy of acquisitions. • Week 4 - Project Management I: The review of project management concepts and its related skills help attendees envision overseeing certain strategic goals as a formal project that can be monitored and measured. Learn about the project management life cycle, success criteria, common reasons for project failure, setting up strong teams, and risk factors to consider. • Week 5 - Project Management II: Based on feedback from cohort one, we’ve added this second course to build on the fundamentals. Areas of discussion to include: the scheduling process, controlling budget deviations, monitoring for project progress, reporting tools, and elements of project close-out. • Week 6 - Introduction to Supply Chain Management: This course provides an overview of supply chain theory and explores its importance to your strategy. Also, it identifies how your supply chain plays into planning and monitoring goals. Customized with presenting sponsor. • Week 7 - Elements of Supply Chain: Take a deeper dive into the manufacturing and service operations of the supply chain, along with a review of logistics, which gives a more nuanced understanding of effective decisions. Customized with presenting sponsor. • Week 8 - Process Improvement: After putting together the concepts taught throughout the PIPE Program, this final class examines process improvement. Utilizing tools and techniques, participants will be empowered to drive toward business optimization!
