This course studies how organizations grow and transform themselves over time. Taking the perspective of the senior leader, this course unpacks the idea of "vision." The course begins with a review of typical organizational growth paths and structural designs, moving to the study of how senior leaders envision and execute on organizational innovation and transformation. Core topics include: assessing organizational performance (with a focus on using non-financial metrics as well as more traditional financial analyses) and setting a growth agenda, then building the senior team, re-shaping an organization's power grid, and designing and leveraging a communications strategy to enact change.
