This course will be held in a highly interactive format and will follow the various challenges - both internal and external - faced by a fictitious Austrian company. In the process, students will form teams to tackle these hurdles and present their ideas to the rest of the group as well as a raft of external stakeholders. This will include, among other things, the following tasks:

- preparing, executing, and briefing others on meetings
- drafting an effective message with pertinent visuals to communicate findings
- giving constructive feedback
- reflecting of the efficacy of one's own communication

The class will include roleplays, group work, presentations, and other activities.

Course 1 ("Key Concepts") of the Specialization must have been completed successfully. Courses 2-4 are not technically required, but it is strongly recommended that students have attended at least two of those classes.
