By the end of this guided project, you will be able to formulate your corporate strategy with the Internal-External (IE) Matrix. The IE framework is a diagnostic and prescriptive tool for maximizing competitiveness, and effective resources allocation. The framework is used to compare the various divisions of an organization in terms of revenue and percentage profit with respect to IFE-EFE matrix. Also, there are three main regions on the IE matrix and they inform the strategy to be pursued given the analysis conducted. The project is for business leaders and strategists who want to make informed corporate strategic decisions. At the end of the project, you will be able to use the model to make effective strategic decisions

This course will provide step-by-step guidance on how to create a detailed schedule for a small business. The scheduling tool When I Work is a free and user-friendly application which allows users to easily customize, create, and share work schedules. When I Work has a large number of free features, making it a budget friendly option for any company looking for a user-friendly, versatile, and effective scheduling program. We'll learn how to create an account with When I Work and discuss how to set up the program to meet our business needs. We will also learn how to properly create and utilize job positions and shift templates. We'll cover how to add employees and customize their profiles and availability. You will then have the opportunity to assemble and publish a schedule, ensuring proper coverage for business needs. This course will walk you through When I Work's scheduling process from account creation to the publication of the schedule. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

This engaging course is designed to help you achieve the success that you desire. Drawing on decades of scientific research, you will learn what the most successful people do differently than others, why IQ is not the most significant predictor of success (and can sometimes backfire), and why many commonly held beliefs hold people back from achieving their goals. Although this course is based on the science of success, you will learn many practical ideas that you can apply to your own life immediately, particularly in three main areas: • Getting better results at work (and school) • Achieving career success (however you define success) • Enjoying a meaningful, happy, and healthy life By the time you finish this course you will know more than most people know about what predicts success in life. One of the most important lessons you’ll learn is that success is earned day-by-day through small wins - small, achievable actions that together can help you achieve your goals sooner and exceed even your own expectations. Therefore, you will have an opportunity to complete a detailed action plan through which you can turn what you learned into specific steps for achieving your most treasured life goals.

The second course of the specialization EVALUATING PROBLEMS will show you how humans think and how to utilize different disciplinary approaches to tackle problems more effectively. It advances your knowledge of your own field by teaching you to look at it in new ways. EVALUATING PROBLEMS is constructed in the following way: Week I. “Thinking about Thinking” – How problem solving evolved in nature, how the mechanics of our brains work, and the psychological biases that can emerge when we think. Week II. “Philosophy, Science, and Problem Solving” – How humans have historically approached problem solving, from ancient times to the present. Week III. “Approaching Problems in the Natural Sciences” – How people in the natural sciences deconstruct problems. Week IV. “Statistics and Problem Solving” – How statistics can be used to evaluate problems and think critically. Week V. “Approaching Problems in the Humanities” – How people in the social sciences and humanities deconstruct problems. Week VI. “Evaluating the Anthropocene” – How to evaluate the problems of the Anthropocene.

Manage large projects by identifying their key characteristics, examining the key factors and risks that affect their performance and exploring methods to counter their impact on the successful delivery of projects. Looking into examples of best practice, you'll explore the relationship between projects, programmes and portfolios. You'll also discover the roles performed by the project manager, examine the difficulties associated with quantifying transaction costs in major project management and consider how different management approaches impact on these costs. Optimism bias and strategic misinterpretation regularly cause delays to major engineering projects. Using stimulating case studies, you'll evaluate the measures of success and compare and contrast 'project success' versus 'project management success'. In the final week of the course, you'll research and present a contemporary example of a major engineering project from your own country. This course explores concepts analysed in the University’s Online MSc in Engineering Management. If you are interested to develop your skills further, take a look at our online degree.
