MOB7512 Leading and Managing Project Teams
(Formerly MFE7510)
3 Credits
This experiential learning course integrates class work as a project leader and hands-on management experience at the same time. As a project leader you will be in charge of a team of four to six undergraduate students working on a Management Consulting Field Experience (MCFE) project for an organization. MBA students will be responsible for managing the entire consulting experience, which will require them to use a variety of skill sets (e.g. project management, coaching, emotional intelligence, team building, performance management, planning) that will vary based on your team's needs and the deliverables required by the company. While you will not be an active team member performing the day-to-day tasks, your responsibility will be to manage the team towards final delivery of the project to the client. This course will provide valuable hands-on leadership experience that cannot be acquired in a classroom setting alone.
Prerequisites: Babson Consulting Experience (MBA 7800), OR ½ way through your MBA Program. Part time students who have not completed BCE and are ½ way through their program may be enrolled with permission from the Office of Experiential Learning. Please contact Elissa Kempisty (ekempisty2@babson.edu) or Arline MacCormack (amaccormack@babson.edu) with questions.
