Students of this course are co-creators of their learning experience. They are encouraged to bring their own company challenges to apply to the content. We also delve into common organizational โ€œpain pointsโ€ (issues and problems) and โ€œgain pointsโ€ (solutions to help unlock a companyโ€™s full potential).
