4-Credit Courses:

595A: Public Policy Challenges of Managing Technology
Instructor: Bryan Zetlen
A-term, T, Th 4:10-7:30pm
Description: Technology evolves much as living beings do. And for the same basic reasons, survival, competition, supremacy. The Roman poet Juvenal asked uis custodiet ipsos custodes? ‘Who guards the guards?’ We ask who guards and manages our many technologies. How do we do this and whose ultimate interests are best served by technology? As managers and guardians of public policy, we are responsible for deriving the maximum social benefit from technologies. To do this we must understand the nature, potential for good, and for harm of every change in every technology.

PBAF 599A: Budgeting and Finance: An International Context
Instructor: Ken Smith
Full-term, T 5:30-8:30
Description: The purpose of this course is to improve the ability of students to assist public managers and policy makers with international budgeting and financial management issues. 
The course has three modules consisting of: a) a review of budgeting and financial management concepts and tools, b) an analysis of international institutions focused on budget and finance and c) an application of the concepts, tools and institutions to the policy makers and public managers in international governmental and nonprofit organizations.

1-Credit Skills Workshops

PBAF 598A: Board Management

Instructor: Ruth Bernstein

B-Term, Th 4:10-7:30pm

***Meets 7/24, 7/31, 8/7, and 8/14 only***
Description: The board of directors is the governing body of every nonprofit organization. This unique governing body is positioned on the boundary between the organization and its external environment that may be viewed as an open system with porous boundaries. Board members’ inward-looking role requires them to fulfill fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the membership or society. Their outward-looking role includes meeting responsibilities to the organization itself and advancing its interests to the stockholders and community. In this workshop we will focus primarily on the governance of nonprofits by examining the processes and structures that guide nonprofit boards of directors in pursuing mission achievement. To achieve this goal we will address the following:

1.      Board governance: What is it? Why does it matter?

2.      Board Members: Who are they? How do you get them? What should they be doing?

3.      Board Processes and Behaviors

4.      Board Governance Structures and Relationships

5.      Collaborative Governance

6.      Board Performance

PBAF 598B: Project Management in the Public Sector

*** Meets Jun 24 & 26, July 1, 3, 8, 10, 15 & 17 only ***

Description: This skills workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of managing projects in the public sector.  This course covers all aspects of project management - initiating, planning, managing, executing and closing out a project.   This workshop will provide hands-on experience in scoping, planning and managing projects, as well as discuss real world examples provided by guest speakers that have experience managing projects in the public sector.   This skills workshop follows the Project Management Institute (PMI) approach to project management.

PBAF 598C: Strategic Planning Through Implementation

Instructor: Ruth Johnston

Full term, M 3:30-6:20pm

***Meets July 7, 14, 21, and 28 only***

Description: This interactive one credit class will introduce the concepts of strategic planning, leader and member roles, how to do a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities Threats) analysis, construct a strategic map (mission, vision, values, strategic goals), create action plans and metrics to achieve the goals, and how to lead change. The class will be divided into working teams who will create a set of deliverables to present to the class at the conclusion.
