Descriptif

Information Systems (IS) are at the core of each enterprise. Any company that strives to be innovative, to increase competitiveness, or to survive market disruptions, must adapt and develop its information management capability. All management tasks rely on information, and the appropriate information and communication technologies (ICT) to manage teams and cooperations with business partners. The course IS Project Management (ISPM) offers participants a comprehensive introduction to leveraging IS in business and management. Participants are provided with the essential knowledge and skills that prepare them for analyzing and designing IS and managing IS projects. The course ISPM provides a broad overview of the role of IS for management, and of current changes, challenges and opportunities. The course takes on a management, not a purely technical, perspective. It features an introductory overview, presenting the basic function and strategic importance of business processes, of information and of ICT in organizations. It also acquaints participants with current aspects of designing and managing IS in a world of big data, cloud services and data science that help coping with challenges for management and for advancing emergent businesses. Principal aspects and major trends of managing information technology (IT) within today’s business environment are discussed. First, an introductory overview of IS and strategic aspects will be given. Second, an introduction to Systems Analysis and Design provides exercises on business process and data modeling. Third, the changing nature of information, communication and systems as well as the changing nature of work and the “digital” workplace are discussed. Third, softer aspects regarding group work and knowledge work are debated. The lecture features exercises on basic IS modeling issues in order to advance students in mastering engineering-related challenges. Topical case studies are discussed in class on major subjects. The topic of “Digital Transformation” is approached through a Problem-Oriented Learning (POL) scenario building workshop as group assignment. Depending on schedule, guest speakers illustrate issues raised in the course from a professional perspective. Teaching Methods: The course integrates several teaching methods. Foundational topics such as concepts, principles, frameworks or theories are presented through lectures. Basic factual knowledge and information are in addition acquired through self-study. Interactive analysis of case studies illustrates practical relevance of selected issues. Class discussions exemplify discursive decision-making processes, integrating competing or diverging views on socio-technical challenges. Exercises deliver basic skills regarding IS analysis and design as well as project management. If the number of participants permits, the topic of “Digital Transformation” is approached through a Problem-Oriented Learning (POL) scenario building workshop as group assignment. The class is supported by Blended Learning means (online tests, wiki, assignments, discussion threads, blog).
