In today’s ever-changing and increasingly digital business world the development of new products and services is characterized by shortened development cycles. In order to be able to deal with the challenges of today’s business environment managers require new skills. The multidisciplinary business project aims to introduce the participants to these skills in a hands-on fashion. Participants will work in multidisciplinary teams to develop their own product or service. In the multidisciplinary business project we will focus on analytical skills, business frameworks, approaches, toolkits, project and team skills which will help participants to develop their own skills.
