Courses

MSLOC 451 MSLOC Elective - Transformational Consulting This course will introduce students to advanced methods and tools used in a collaborative consulting process, with an emphasis on helping clients achieve successful organizational transformations. Using their knowledge of themselves and their subject matter expertise, students will learn and practice the fundamentals of collaborative consulting including how to build rapport, how to leverage active listening to help the client determine the root cause of the problem (or opportunity), how to move a client through phases of the project, especially when the client is reluctant to act, how to co-project manage an assignment and how to maintain long-term relationships. The class also will touch on consulting sales activities and presentation skills necessary at the different steps in the consulting relationship.

MSLOC 410-1 Foundations I This course will introduce students to foundational concepts and frameworks that can be used to anchor and integrate their learning throughout the MSLOC program. The course will cover methods and tools applied in multiple organizational settings to solve problems and increase individual, group and organizational effectiveness. Through class meetings and an action learning project that extends through three quarters, students will begin to apply organizational theory to the practice of organizational transformation.

This course counts as one half credit. Taken before Foundations II, the two courses together count as one credit.

MSLOC 410-2 Foundations II Foundations II is a continuation of the action learning project that was started in the Fall Foundations I course. Students will continue to meet with their project team members and action learning coach throughout the Winter and Spring quarters, resulting in the implementation of the initiative that the team chose to design. In addition to designing and implementing a solution to a real organizational challenge, applying the concepts and methods introduced through their MSLOC courses, students will practice reflection, critical thinking, project management, and leadership skills to achieve the professional development goals they selected for their individual learning plans.

This course counts for one half credit. Taken after Foundations I, the two of them together count for one full credit.
