Hear From Our Graduates
“The Enterprise Design Thinking course was such a valuable class offered in the graduate MBA curriculum. Since my employer currently uses enterprise design thinking methodology, it was relevant to my current job and I was able to apply the skills immediately to solve problems. This course challenged my way of thinking and the cohort learning model really helped me understand the importance of problem solving with others, which is more reflective of the what happens in professional decision making today. I had an opportunity to abandon independent thinking, resist the urge to solution before falling in love with the problem, and everything I learned will support my success of my future courses in the MBA program. A special thank you to Dr. Gulhan Bizel, an extraordinary instructor, who was always eloquent challenged us to think differently.” | |
“Enterprise Design Thinking exposed me to the process of decision making in a team, while allowing me to step away from my normal commanding leadership style. This course and IBM process worked in tandem to develop interpersonal skills while solving real world problems in our university.” |
