Fall 2025
Taught By: Roger Miletic
Section: A

Course Reference Number: 18347

Credits: 3

This course engages students in hands-on project management techniques worthy of new socio-economic conditions, constraints, and controversies. Students will define and practice techniques for fashioning order out of chaos, especially in the design management field with fewer rules, greater flow of information, and environmental dynamics, but with a mandate for rapid innovation, resiliency and gracefulness in frequent failure situations. They will develop their abilities to inspire and influence their interpersonal and leadership competencies. They will practice choice-making based on reductive and incomplete information, leveraging their rich experiential knowledge base, and identify how to productively function in organic, sometimes dysfunctional non-hierarchies. They will demonstrate high-performance team leadership via required field work and qualitative, quantitative research as well as collaborative methods. NOTE: MS in Strategic Design and Management majors interested in registering for the online sections of this course should contact their advisor for assistance.
