FOUNDATIONS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN ORG
FOUND. FOR KNWLDGE-DRIVEN
Note: This course starts with a multi-day, on-campus Residency in late Aug./early Sept. and continues online thereafter.
Knowledge-driven organizations increasingly dominate the economy. What are their attributes? What vision and strategy guides their development? How are they designed? What are the jobs necessary for this new workplace? This course has been designed to give students a grounding that will be important for their future working career. It will focus on how the global economy and all its subsequent ramifications has evolved from a predominantly industrial base to one based on knowledge.
The Foundations course will begin by giving students a historical perspective as to how the "knowledge" economy specifically came about. We will be using historical and economic data and models which offer a clear understanding as to how the global economy and organizations evolved into their current state-where value is produced by knowledge and ideas significantly more than the earlier industrial processes and operations.
The course will then present detailed and comprehensive treatments of how societies, organizations and individual lives have been changed due to this great shift in the factors of production. The course will also focus on how networks, communities and practices work and have evolved to focus more on knowledge production and transfer than on the more industrial factors of production such as land, labor and capital. In addition, the course will examine the critical role of intangibles such as culture, trust and missions in the workings of organizations in this new era. Insights from anthropology, psychology and sociology as well as economics will be incorporated into the course curriculum.
A complex and comprehensive case study on NASA and their knowledge operations will be one of the key learning tools for this course as it proceeds.

INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
INTL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
International Environmental Law is a fascinating field that allows students to consider some of the most important questions of the 21st century – questions that have profound ramifications for the quality of life for our generation as well as future generations. Global environmental problems are real and urgent. Their resolution requires creative and responsible thought and action from many different disciplines.
Sustainability practitioners must understand global environmental issues and their effects on what they are charged to do. At one level, this course will consider the massive challenge of the 21st century: how to alleviate poverty on a global scale and maintain a high quality of life while staying within the bounds of an ecologically limited and fragile biosphere -- the essence of sustainable development. From a more practical perspective, the course will provide students with an understanding of international environmental policy design and the resulting body of law in order to strengthen their ability to understand, interpret and react to future developments in the sustainability management arena.
After grounding in the history and foundational concepts of international environmental law and governance, students will explore competing policy shapers and the relevant law in the areas of stratospheric ozone protection, climate change, chemicals and waste management, and biodiversity. The course satisfies the public policy course requirement for the M.S. in Sustainability Management program.

STRATEGIC PHILANTHROPY
This course explores the evolving field of philanthropy by examining its historical foundations and the rationale for the continued existence of philanthropic organizations, like foundations, today. From the industrial-era legacies of figures like Rockefeller and Ford to the modern innovations driven by today's billionaires, students will analyze how generational and societal shifts have shaped the strategies and impact of philanthropy over time.
A key focus of the course is on how philanthropic organizations respond to complex societal issues such as racial justice, climate change, healthcare, and human rights. Through centering diverse perspectives and critical engagement with power structures, this course equips students with the tools to navigate, critique, and influence the philanthropic sector in impactful ways. Students will appraise both the catalytic role philanthropy can play in driving social change and instances where such efforts have backfired and reinforced systematic inequities. The course will further explore how foundations’ missions, values, and goals shape their decisions on funding, project duration, grantee expectations, and impact evaluation methods.
The course will examine different approaches to grantmaking, including social entrepreneurship, effective altruism, social justice grantmaking, and strategic philanthropy. Students will learn the differences across these conceptual frameworks and understand how they influence the ways in which foundations operate. By exploring both the conceptual and pragmatic dimensions of across these frameworks, students will understand the tensions and debates within the philanthropic sector and be well prepared to identify those foundations most likely to support their work.
Students will also analyze the role of foundation program officers as change agents who navigate power, influence, and institutional constraints to drive change. Through case studies, guest speaker sessions, and real-world examples, participants will learn how these professionals influence funding priorities and partnerships in response to societal needs.
Students will develop and pitch a concept for a new funding initiative to a mock foundation board. This exercise will require them to demonstrate an understanding of the foundation’s mission and approach while proposing improvements to its strategic direction. The final assignment will require the student to pull together their funding concept into a Transformative Phil
INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHICAL BIOETHICS
INTRO TO PHILOSOPHICAL BI
In contemporary bioethics, we find ourselves grappling with practically important, and at the same time, philosophically fundamental questions such as: When does someone’s life begin and how should it end? What is the proper role of physicians, nurses and other health care providers and what are the rights of their patients? What is a just and fair way to provide access to health-care services and resources? Which potential uses of new genetic and reproductive technologies would represent a legitimate advance in medicine and which would signify the beginning of a humanly degrading "brave new world"? Indeed, in a society committed to protecting a diversity of lifestyles and opinions, how can citizens resolve significant policy controversies such as whether there should be public funding of human embryonic stem cell research, or a legally protected right to physician assistance in ending one’s life?
The aims of this course are to identify the fundamental ethical questions that underlie contemporary biomedical practice; develop skill in analyzing and clarifying key concepts such as autonomy, justice, health and disease; critically assess the healthcare implications of different ethical outlooks; explore how citizens can reasonably address controversial bioethical issues in a mutually respectful and constructive way.
The course meets once a week for an hour and a half. Live-session interaction and post-session discussion forums play a key role as students explore, in a give-and-take spirit, the pros and cons of each position.
This course is designed for medical students, nursing students, and other healthcare professionals, as well as for students at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level in biology, philosophy, political science, public health, law, and related fields.

LAW & BIOETHICS
LAW & BIOETHICS (ONLINE)
This course introduces students to selected legal and policy texts that have addressed issues in bioethics and shaped their development. Students will explore and contrast legal reasoning and bioethical analysis, often of the same issues. By the end of the course, students will understand the legal or regulatory status of selected issues and have begun to independently navigate major legal, regulatory, and policy texts. Individual sessions will be focused around particular issues or questions that have been addressed by (usually) American courts and/or in legislation, regulation or policy, and that have been the subject of scholarship and debate within bioethics.
The course begins with a theoretical look at the relationship between law and ethics, and includes a brief introduction to legal decision-making and policy development. We then survey a range of bioethics issues that have been addressed by the courts and/or in legislation, regulation, or significant policy documents, contrasting and comparing legal argument and reasoning with arguments utilized in the bioethics literature.

LEADING COLLABORATION
This course is about leading boundary-spanning coalitions. An old African proverb tells us that, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." While this advice is especially relevant in our interconnected 21st-century world, we have learned that working together is not always easy to do well.
“Collaboration at Scale: Leading Boundary-Spanning Coalitions” takes the study of collaboration into an even wider realm by examining the potential and complexity of large-scale, cross-organizational collaboration, and how to lead it.
The concept of scalability is common in the business world and this course demonstrates what it takes to make collaboration scalable and suitable for a variety of challenging contexts larger than a single organization. Inherent in the concept of scalability are the notions of "appropriate scale" and also "at scale." Both of these notions raise valid questions that we will address in this course. (Though our interpretations of scale have evolved with the advent of social media, specific technology selection is not the focus of the course.)
Students will learn the characteristics, conditions and dynamics of various large-scale collaborations, as well as how to design and lead them effectively. Course materials will be drawn from the for-profit and nonprofit worlds. Using a balance of practice and theory of networks and large system facilitation, students will demonstrate their mastery of course materials through an assignment in which they diagnose and (re)design a “collaboration at scale.” This could be in the business, scientific, religious, political, or humanitarian domains.

IKNS Capstone
IKNS Capstone Project Sem
OVERVIEW: The IKNS Capstone represents the culmination of learning throughout the IKNS program in which students master business-critical concepts in data, analytics, people, networks, integration, and strategy. Working individually and in small teams, students design and deliver a project for a capstone sponsor seeking IKNS expertise to help solve a real-world problem within the sponsor’s organization. Using what they have learned from across the curriculum, students apply IKNS frameworks and use both qualitative and quantitative research to develop a written business report, oral presentation. and a final product for the sponsor including but not limited to a roadmap, strategic plan, white paper, or minimum viable product (MVP). The Capstone provides a final testing ground for students to apply their learning to real organizational needs and also become familiar with consultative approaches. During this course, students collaborate to complete an assignment specified by their Capstone project sponsor. At the conclusion of the Capstone, students provide a report and a strong integrated presentation to the sponsoring organization. Project activity begins at the end of August, with concrete individual and team assignments during the course culminating in a final report and oral presentation delivered in December.
LOGISTICS: Open to IKNS only. Pre-requisites: Students must complete 24 credits towards their degree prior to the start of the course.

HCM in the Nonprofit Sector
Research shows that employment growth in the nonprofit sector has outpaced that of for-profit organizations, increasing at a rate three times greater over a recent ten-year period. At the same time, nonprofit entities frequently face human capital management (HCM) challenges distinct from their for-profit counterparts. In this elective course, students will explore theoretical and practical approaches to nonprofit HCM intended to help them acquire competencies in developing solutions to shifting internal expectations and external demands. The course will cover topics ranging from recruitment and engagement, compensation and benefits, and volunteer management, to diversity and inclusion, rewards and recognition, separation and severance, and board governance. There is no prerequisite needed for this course.

ETHICAL ISSUES IN MUSEUMS
Ethical questions about museum activities are legion, yet they are usually only discussed when they become headlines in newspapers. At the same time, people working in museums make decisions with ethical and legal issues regularly and seldom give these judgments even little thought. In part, this is due to the fact that many of these decisions are based upon values that become second nature. This course will explore ethical issues that arise in all areas of a museum's operations from governance and management to collections acquisition, conservation, and deaccessioning. We will examine the issues that arise when the ownership of objects in a museum's are questioned; the ethical considerations involved in retention, restitution and repatriation; and what decolonization means for museums.
