Our primary objective in this course is to learn techniques of
innovation brainstorming and visualization and to do so in ways
that enable executable solutions to business problems and growth.
 This includes key components of project management:  project
integration, project scope and scalability management, project
time and cost management, quality management, human resource
considerations, communications, risk management, and procurement
management.

II. Ideation testing:  Students will learn ways to "road test" 
the growth potential of new ideas.
III. Management function in a Project Environment.

Students will learn specific techniques and project management
software, including milestone charts, line of balance, program
evaluation and review technique (PERT), critical path method

the process of estimating, forecasting, budgeting, monitoring, 
controlling, analyzing and reporting costs.
VI. Trade-off Analysis and Quality Management in a Project 
Environment:  Students will learn how to manage the time-cost-
