This project provides an exciting opportunity to take concepts and themes and develop a Project Action Plan that focuses on developing an achievable action plan for a particular challenge or opportunity in the real world, that you can influence within your current or future workplace. Ideas will be shared with colleagues and faculty mentors in several working sessions during which you identify gaps, assess project goals, plan actions, develop success measures, and consider impediments that may affect project success. At the end of the course, you will brief your Seminar on the Project and receive further input.
