Join a design team and take a human-centered event from ideation to implementation.

Design thinking is a powerful tool to solve complex business problems and place your customer, user, or consumer at the center of your decision-making process. The power of design thinking comes from the combination of creative and analytic brainpower in an iterative, team-process. And many leading companies, including Apple and Google, have integrated design thinking into their business operations.

Joining a design team at Carey Business School is your opportunity to build and hone your design thinking skills without making a semester-long commitment to a course or club. You and the others on your design team will partner with a student organization to plan and oversee an event.

Who can join?

You do not need to be a member of the student organization to join the event design team, and all students (full-time, part-time, on-campus, and online) are welcome to participate.

Learn the design thinking process along the way:

Empathize - learn about the audience.
Define - sharpen key questions.
Ideate - brainstorm and create solutions.
Prototype - build representations of one or more ideas.
Test - test ideas and gain user feedback.

Gain new skills

And complete the event with new, highly-marketable skills and specific experience to reference in your next job interview:

Design thinking: Gain functional knowledge of the design thinking six-step process.
Strategic planning: Develop a mission, vision, and plan of action for the project. Create goals, roles, and responsibilities for each team member.
Project management: Create individualized project plans, to include roles and responsibilities, timelines, and deliverables. Execute projects that include reflection and assessment.
Leadership: Build diverse teams that set and achieve goals. Manage your team’s dynamic.

Accelerated Electives

The Flexible MBA program at Carey offers a few courses in an accelerated format, such as Power & Politics and Negotiation. In this format, students will complete most of the two-credit course in person over three days at Carey Business School. Students are required to complete pre-work and attend one to two virtual synchronous sessions prior to the in-person component. Most accelerated courses also require students to complete post-visit online work.

The total amount of work is commensurate with any two-credit course at Carey. These courses allow online students a chance to truly experience the Carey Business School community and network with faculty, staff, and other students.

: This course provides students with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to negotiate. Designed around a series of research-based negotiation exercises, the course exposes students to various negotiation situations to help them understand two fundamental approaches to negotiation. By reflecting on these exercises considering negotiation theory, students develop an awareness of their personal negotiation style, including its strengths and weaknesses.
By the end of the course, students will be able to negotiate in an effective, ethical, and culturally appropriate manner.

: The purpose of this course is to immerse you in issues and dynamics related to power and politics within organizations. We seek to make power and politics discussable, recognizable, and usable. In other words, this course is designed to fuel learning of concepts that are useful for understanding, analyzing, and harnessing power and political processes. But beyond discovering ways to extend your own power, influence, and political skill, we will also uncover lessons about ways in which power and influence can blind and deceive you, and how you might better navigate situations in which you are up against relatively more powerful people or forces.
The course will use a range of learning methods including theoretical and business articles, cases, exercises, assessments, and simulations. It will cover a variety of topics ranging from political skills, bases of power and influence, dangers of power, power and change, and leading with power.
