Systems Management and Strategy 2017
This is interdisciplinary course where students learn how to relate business practices, engineering practices, and management practices among each others. This will allow you to maintain the holistic vision of the problem and implement the principle of responsibility for the entire system as a whole.The course consists of six full days of classes with the teacher (total 54 training hours - every other Sunday) and 11 training workshops where you solve problems (total 22 hours - every Wednesday from 19.00 to 21.00). The trainings provide you with system view of how to determine the product of system of interest / service of your project, how to ensure its development and production on time and with minimally involved resources, how to organize people in your enterprise, how to conduct organizational changes and how to set strategic goals.

Biography
Experienced Technology Leader and Innovator. I am a systems thinker with a deep understanding of technology and a methodological approach to innovation. Over the last 20 years, I held multiple engineering, academic and leadership positions. I have a systematic approach to innovation, which allows me to innovate and inspire others to innovate: for example, in 2018, my team build a “blockchain-inspired” distributed system which resulted in the first technology patent in the history of Nationwide Building Society. I have deep knowledge and interests in data privacy, synthetic data, distributed data and natural language processing/search engines, sensors, wired and wireless networks. My unique combination of skills allows me to take novel ideas from inception into production.
