Interpersonal Dynamics: Collaboration, F
Interpersonal Dynamics: Collaboration, Facilitation and Reflective Practice
develops students’ capacity to act as reflective practitioners of
collaborative conflict resolution. Building on theories presented in
Introduction to Negotiation, the course provides students with many
opportunities to understand the interpersonal dynamics of conflict and to
practice the skills of negotiation, mediation, and facilitation.
To intervene as skilled practitioners, conflict-resolution professionals
need to understand how their worldview shapes the lens through which they
view and respond to conflict. Likewise, they need to grasp their
counterpart’s worldview and understand how the dynamics of these differing
narratives influence both sides’ perception, emotions, and responses. As a
result of their reflective practice, students can learn to make more
strategic choices as negotiators, mediators, and facilitators.
Students bring their own unique experiences, insights, and communicative
strengths to the learning process. This course seeks to build on these
contributions, providing (1) tools for deepening self-awareness as a means
of advancing connection to others, (2) opportunities for strengthening
their face-to-face communication skills as negotiators and as mediators,
and (3) techniques for developing their skills as third-party facilitators.

SPECIAL TOPICS - People Analytics: AI, S
PplAnalytics-AI,Strat,Wor
OVERVIEW:
In this course, students will explore how people analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to align HR and talent strategy with organizational performance and long-term workforce transformation. As AI and other advanced analytics become embedded in core workforce systems, students will examine how data-driven decision-making operates across hiring, performance management, learning, job design, and organizational culture. The course integrates strategy, organizational behavior, and data science to help students understand how analytics can drive measurable impact while strengthening trust, fairness, and human-centered leadership in the digital workplace. Students will develop a critical perspective on the use of AI-enabled systems in workforce management and will learn how to assess whether analytics practices promote responsible governance, ethical integrity, and sustainable competitive advantage in an evolving regulatory and global landscape.
CONTENT & GOALS:
Through case-based discussion, experiential exercises, team-based projects, and guest lectures from senior leaders at Fortune 500 companies and innovative startups, students will develop the analytical and strategic skills required to design and evaluate people analytics initiatives. Topics include workforce data fundamentals; AI-enabled hiring and talent development; performance analytics; digital feedback systems; learning, reskilling, and workforce augmentation; AI–human systems interaction; organizational culture; and the intersection of ethics, regulation, governance, global norms, data privacy and other regulatory regimes that govern data collection & use across jurisdictions (including frameworks such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, among others), cybersecurity, fairness, and responsible technology use. Students will gain practical exposure to predictive modeling concepts, bias assessment frameworks, network analysis, and diagnostic visualization techniques, while focusing on translating insights into strategic action.
LOGISTICS:
This course is an elective in the MS Information & Knowledge Strategy (IKNS) program and open to all graduate students. It is particularly relevant to students interested in strategy, leadership, and the future of work. The course meets online once per week. No prerequisites or background in advanced statistics are required.

Human-Centered Design for Data-Driven St
HumCenDesignForDDStrat+De
Within this course, students will explore how practices from human-centered design (HCD) can be applied to the end-to-end data science workflow—problem (use case) definition, data collection & preparation, data exploration, data modeling, and communicating and visualizing the results— in order to build trust in data that is used to drive strategy and decision making and impact organizational change. Students will learn about fundamental human values and how methods from the behavioral sciences and HCD can inspire ethical use of data to drive strategy and change in the modern, data-driven workplace. Students will understand how keeping “humans in the loop” is beneficial, and they will develop a critical eye for assessing whether the data they rely on to make decisions at work is human-centric, particularly as we become more reliant on data science and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to inform our insights, strategies, and decision making at work.
Content & Goals: Through hands-on, project-based work, students will work individually and in project teams to practice designing human-centric information and communication experiences, leveraging audience-focused data visualizations and storytelling techniques to drive a strategic workplace objective, motivating leaders and employees into action to create traceable organizational impact that benefits people. Students will have an opportunity to practice their writing and presentation skills through practical course assignments.
Logistics: This graduate-level elective course is designed for students in Information & Knowledge Strategy but is open to other students at Columbia University. This course would be relevant to students studying management and technology more broadly. The course will be delivered in person on Columbia’s campus during the spring semester.

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).

Accounting for Public Affairs
This course provides an introduction to both financial and managerial accounting and emphasizes the analysis and evaluation of accounting information from the perspective of managers in the planning, decision-making, and control processes. The objective is to provide an overview of financial accounting and reporting, including basic accounting concepts and principles, the financial statements, financial statement analysis, and the use of AI in accounting.
The course also introduces elements of managerial accounting to develop an understanding of how accounting information can be used in internal decision-making. Topics include cost behavior and analysis, product and service costing, and relevant costs for internal decision-making.
This course is designed for students who will use accounting information to make strategic decisions in public and non-profit organizations, as well as those seeking a broad understanding of accounting and financial reporting as it relates to managers, creditors, shareholders, and other users of financial information. The focus is on the users rather than the preparers of financial information. An organization’s strategy is often predicated on the managerial team’s ability to understand the financial implications of their decisions and how those decisions impact the day-to-day activities of the operations and the foreseeable future.
The EMPA students participating in this course will be provided with a broad understanding of financial and managerial accounting, which should enable them to adapt their knowledge to careers in private, public, or non-profit management.

RESEARCH METHODS & APPLICATIONS
Quantitative Foundations
Successful public health studies, policies, and interventions rely on evidence to guide their design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Because public health is not a simple, reactive, “take the pill three times a day” solution, but a purposeful approach to preventing disease and promoting health, the tools of scientific inquiry to document, measure, evaluate, and understand all the consequences of health interventions are essential. Learning to identify, gather, and interpret evidence is therefore crucial for public health practitioners. The Research Methods & Applications studio provides an introduction to scientific inquiry and evidence and their relationships to public policy. Using an integrated approach spanning multiple disciplines, students will be provided with a basic introduction to quantitative and qualitative measurement and data collection, tenets of epidemiologic study design, statistical inference and data analysis techniques, and the tools of science. Views on the differences between scientific and other types of inquiry and knowledge, classical models of how science and evidence can inform policy and programs, and sources of tension at the science- policy interface will be explored and discussed. The methods introduced in this course will provide a toolkit with which to help measure and estimate the relationships between the smaller pieces that comprise the complex and dynamic web of systems in public health.

Introduction to Biostatistics
INTRODUCTION TO BIOSTATIS
Biostatistics is essential to ensuring that findings and practices in public health and biomedicine are supported by reliable evidence. This course covers the basic tools for the collection, analysis, and presentation of data in all areas of public health. Central to these skills is assessing the impact of chance and variability on the interpretation of research findings and subsequent recommendations for public health practice and policy. Topics covered include: general principles of study design; probability, hypothesis testing; review of methods for comparison of discrete and continuous data including ANOVA, t-test, correlation, and regression. This course is part of the core course requirement for the MPH and is a prerequisite for other courses in the Department of Biostatistics and throughout the Mailman School of Public Health.
