Students will leverage their IT systems analysis knowledge while conducting a real-world analysis project focused on a trending/emerging IT issue for your organization. The analysis can contain technical areas, but it should be focused on matching technical capabilities with your business needs.

Senior undergraduate students will leverage their business IT systems analysis knowledge to conduct a real-world analysis project focused on a trending IT issue for your organization. The analysis can contain technical areas, but it should be focused on matching technical capabilities with business/user needs. Examples of analyses that would be a good fit include: Software selection, system configuration decisions, system use recommendations, or system marketing.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Ohio University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on your project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Learners in this program/experience cover some of the basic issues related to, and tools used for, managing projects and the course provides an opportunity for students to learn the application of tools and concepts of project management. Often, we are involved with developing a new system, a new product, planning an event, or participating in an undertaking that we cannot simply repeat things we have done in our past experience. As such, they require a unique approach to management and administration, it is important to understand and appreciate the techniques and concepts used for successful project management. 

Bring on learners from Ohio University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Learners in this program/experience will learn and then follow a stage gate development process to develop product ideas, decide how to position the ideas, write concept statements, test the concepts first qualitatively and then quantitatively, and then proceed to developing a proof of concept prototype. For perspective, last year the class developed ideas for a seasonal decorations company named Old world Christmas. The process starts with a situation analysis and ends with a product prototype. Students include marketing and communications majors and we will have graphic capabilities.
