LEADING LARGE COMPLEX PROJECTS
Project management has been important to many types of missions, projects, and activities for many years; however, it has been especially critical to the success of large complex projects across decades and centuries. Large complex projects span the globe across all industries and sectors. They also span concepts, product design, development, manufacturing, operations, and logistics, etc. Products may include hardware, software, services, product support, systems, and systems of systems, etc.
The primary focus of this course will be around project leadership as projects are planned and executed (project management). The course will start by recognizing the need and benefits of project management for large complex global projects, explore characteristics of project managers, and study the commonality and differences in types of projects. The course will continue with understanding the essential capabilities of project management, and analyze the variations in project lifecycles. The course will address managing risk throughout the project lifecycle, controls, and performance measurement, and maximizing the use of knowledge. Lastly, the course will visualize the future of projects and project management structure and core capabilities.
Our fundamental goal is to better prepare leaders for large complex global projects. This will be gained via readings; real-world case studies; and study, research, analysis, and exploration by the students. Therefore, the course will require students to engage in reflection, discussion, activities, and assignments aimed at personal unlearning and learning. The assignment and class discussions will be quite provocative to drive maximum learning.

AI AND THE KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN ORGANIZAT
AI & THE KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN
OVERVIEW: Artificial Intelligence is one of the most important technological developments in decades and has already begun to demonstrate significant improvements in healthcare, military, finance, retail, and the arts. In this class we will cover an intro to artificial intelligence with a specific lens on how knowledge driven organizations can benefit from AI. This course is not a coding or a computer science course, but does touch on high level concepts in statistics, data science, and software engineering, though no experience is necessary in these fields.
CONTENT & OBJECTIVES: You will learn how AI works, what are the best and worst use cases for AI, and the implications of implementing AI. As exciting as this space can be, there are real risks, ethical considerations, and new challenges that we will cover and discuss. By the end of the course, you will have a clear understanding of the possibilities with AI, how to implement AI in a knowledge driven organization, and the global nature of this technology. You will build on previous coursework of knowledge strategy and learn how AI accelerates knowledge management including search ranking, content recommendations, and people analytics.

IKNS INDEPENDENT STUDY
Overview
: This 1 semester course (elective, IKNS students only, hybrid) provides an opportunity for a student to extend or supplement their educational experience via a deep-dive into an established or novel area of research of their choice (the topic), under the guidance & supervision of a faculty member (the supervisor). An independent study course allows a student to work one-on-one with a faculty member to gain & contribute new insight into the discipline of Knowledge Management.
Topic/objective
: The topic is chosen by the student as long as it falls within the general realm of Knowledge Management or its specific content areas in the IKNS curriculum, such as IT systems, knowledge organizing systems, data repositories, business data analytics including machine learning & AI, learning processes, collaboration, dialogue, team & project management, transformational leadership, change management, digital transformation, or digital product innovation. The course will therefore serve the dual purpose of allowing a student to pursue their own intellectual curiosity & to make a contribution to the wider discipline of Knowledge Management. In addition, students will deepen their understanding of the content they acquired in other courses, by applying this content to the specific topic chosen for the Independent Study.
Logistics
: Ahead of registration, the student meets with the supervisor to discuss & agree on (i) the topic & the relevant IKNS curriculum area(s); (ii) the timeline of deliverables, milestones, & contact hours for the semester; & (iii) the number of credits. The student summarizes these points in a ~1 pg
Independent Study Proposal
. The student can register for the course only once the supervisor & the Academic Director agree to & sign the
Independent Study Proposal
(which includes the topic, the IKNS curriculum area, the number of credits, & the assigned supervisor). The number of credits (1-3) will be commensurate with the scope of the Independent Study. The scope can range from a summary of existing sources (typically 1 credit. 5-10 pg report), to a synthesis or meta-analysis of existing & new sources, e.g., interviews withSMEs (typically 2 credits, 10-15 pg report), to a comprehensive study which adds the student’s own critical discussion & suggestions to the topic (typically 3 credits; 15-20 pg report).

Computing in Context
This introductory course will explore computing concepts and coding in the context of solving policy problems. Such problems might include troubleshooting sources of environmental pollution, evaluating the effectiveness of public housing policy or determining the impact that local financial markets have on international healthcare or education. Using policy scenarios as examples, students will be exposed to topics including: requirements gathering, data collection, data cleansing, writing pseudocode and code, using Python packages to help solve policy problems, presenting technical solutions and the constraints of computing. The hands-on nature of the class will help students to develop a strong, transferable skill-set that could be applied to both current coursework and future employment. Between the computer science and policy context lectures, students will see how computer science will become a fundamental component of their policy analysis education.

WORKSHOP (CERT)
This workshop provides an intense immersion in the methods and skills of narrative medicine. Lectures will open up themes of how stories work, creativity, ethics, bearing witness, and empathy, while the small groups practice rigorous skills in close reading, creative writing, and responding to the writings of others. The learning objectives of the workshops are to 1) provide personal contact to introduce and solidify intersubjective relationships among participants; 2) to ignite use of methods that have been and will be utilized in the on-line component, e.g., writing to prompts from literary texts and responding to both form and content of colleagues’ writing; 3) plenary lectures from the architects of the discipline of Narrative Medicine in the foundational theories to be studied; 4) scheduled cultural learning opportunities of New York City (music, museums, literary readings) for shared creative experiences; 5) contact with Master of Science in Narrative Medicine graduate program for certification participants toward their understanding of the breadth of the field and the potential for their continuing to study NM after the CPA; 6) introduction to the national and international reach of Columbia Narrative Medicine so that participants grasp the value and magnitude of the community they have entered as certification program students. Participants will be given the chance to present their own works-in-progress to assembled participants and faculty as a jump-start to collaborative projects during and after the participation in the certification program.
