Course Description

Every organization seeks to increase efficiency and coordinate activity between individuals and units, but how can you know how your organization is doing on these fronts? What should your efficiency goals be, and how can you tell whether you are meeting them? And what are effective ways to increase cooperation among those who have conflicting interests and priorities?

In this course, you will be introduced to various methods that help you understand and improve the efficiency of repetitive processes using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. You'll then examine how to effectively develop a budget and discover how doing so can actually improve coordination within and between units in your organization. Specially designed spreadsheets and deliberation guides will give you hands-on practice with standard costing and budgeting to apply to your organization and beyond.
