TOP REVIEWS FROM DESIGNING THE ORGANIZATION
Watch the summary videos at the end of module four of managing the organization first, they provide great structure to attach your learning to.
This course was good and the professor did a good job explaining content, however, it didn't really seem like useful information to me since it was extremely theoretical.
Good course, but I had a lot of trouble interacting with the app. It would not let me post comments or questions which was a bit frustrating. Going off the app and through the website now!
Great content that I know I will use in the future. Really opened my eyes as to how much the Strategy of the Organization is the key to its success.
