Organizational Leadership Capstone

The capstone project consists of a case study that must be addressed to complete the specialization.

In the case study, you will be asked to assume the role of the incoming chief executive officer of a fictitious privately held medical device company. From the company's standpoint, its customers are the clinics that use and dispense its products, rather than the end-users of the company's products. The company is currently facing a range of challenges, including obstacles to access for world-wide users of the company's product, as well as internal conflict about the company's priorities and a new disruptive technology. You will be asked to help the board address key changes in the industry, by developing a strategy to meet these challenges. Specifically, you will submit artifacts responding to a series of challenges related to the case. The artifacts will be peer-assessed on how effectively you applied concepts and skills explored throughout the specialization, assessed your own skills as a leader, evaluated the data to help you make an informed decision, developed a customer-facing design process, and communicated your strategy to relevant stakeholders.
