Refelctive Comments-Information and Information Environments-SU Course 601

After completing this intensive two day introductory class at Syracuse University, I feel a great need to sleep and relax!! Although, I must comment that engaging discussions, interesting presentations and even comic interjections in lectures made this a memorable experience. Assignments given were challenging and tested even the brightest scholars.

A new and eye opening experience for me was planning an innovative presentation with a group. This project was a realistic adventure in promotion, execution and presentation under constraints including limited time and resources. In working under these conditions, I affirmed that my leadership skills and attention to keeping a group on task were taxed but still intact!

"Take Away" concepts for me included: Organizational structure is dynamic and negativeness can be overcome (in organizational cultures); The process of change is affected by many factors and we must be aware of external influences concerning this and Innovative management involves thinking "outside the box" and surrounding yourself with creative thinkers that might not seem "right" for the organization.
