Critical Thinking for Business Redesign

(6 units)

This course enables students to lead the redesign of existing systems and enterprises to meet the authentic needs of humanity and the natural world. Students practice the skills, habits and ethics to know:

  • Is my idea a good idea?
  • What does leadership ask of me?
  • How do I transform an idea into a healthy, balanced, living enterprise?

Students explore the anatomy of well-reasoned judgments by learning how and when to apply them to perceived opportunities and problems. Knowledge mapping and presentation skills, as well as observational challenges, external interviews and artistic work, infuse the course with a rhythm that includes head, heart, and hands.

 

What people are saying about the GreenMBA

"Learning how to "breakdown" a project has been a fabulous tool for me in business.  I am a Facilities/Project Manager by training and have to think "systemically" in my daily work day, however, getting fully engaged in a "project" for class and working on a "team" project takes you deeper into the process.  How to use systemics and critical thinking in determining whether a project is ready "for the street" or whether it needs to be drilled deeper to get the core of what will make it successful.  It's a study in chaos and systems planning.  I find myself thinking about who will be my next "test case" - or victim!!!"
