With these complex challenges come complex threats and opportunities. Uncertainty and associated risks have become more complex as project spans organizational, national, and cultural bounds.

The final week of the course is offered virtually through an interaction platform (e.g., Zoom) and closely replicates the traditional classroom environment, having students and instructors interacting and engaging on a live basis. Students and instructors will be together during four hours a day from Monday to Friday.
