Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The course aims to provide students with knowledge about the challenges and dilemmas of organizing and managing multiple projects within a company or network. On one hand, projects are often implemented in organizations to enable creativity, innovation, and transformation, as they are often given the autonomy to think anew and develop knowledge. On the other hand, this autonomy can lead to the risk of "reinventing the wheel" if projects become too independent, presenting the challenge of fostering continuous learning and competence development. This course delves into organizational dilemmas, such as how to manage and operate a company that largely, or entirely, consists of more or less autonomous projects. How do you create knowledge integration across projects, and how do you build organizational competencies to manage different types of projects and ensure the creation of innovation? |

Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The course is designed as an immersive experience, featuring full-day sessions often co-taught by two academics specialized in the area. This format allows for a dynamic blend of lectures, interactive presentations, discussions, group dialogues, hands-on exercises, and continuous feedback, creating a rich and engaging learning environment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Feedback during the teaching period | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments and feedback in connection with
lectures, small exercises with feedback and comments, as well as
group-based exercises and discussions with feedback.

A group-based mock exam will be conducted in the last class, with comments on performance and advices on weak spots, improvements and advices for preparation for the actual oral exam. This experience is also intended to reduce stress levels experienced by students in exam situations. |
