This course was formerly known as MORS 915-A
This course examines in detail the critical importance of developing and aligning an executable human capital strategy as a fundamental driver in the successful scaling of an enterprise. Using the business strategy and operating plan as a launching point, students will gain a practical understanding on how to create an enabling organizational structure that provides clarity of roles and accountabilities (individual and team), recruitment and retention strategies, performance management and incentive systems, and a range of process design tools. Examples and case studies will focus on companies from multiple industries and capital structures that are transitioning from early stage to a larger, more sustainable business. Students also will have the opportunity to apply these principles and capabilities in a group case study in a learning environment that encourages diverse dialogue and collaborative learning.
