UPOP 2016. Paul’s 15th year as a mentor / instructor for the MIT UPOP Program, which provides sophomores with training in business-related skills not typically included in the regular MIT curriculum. Topics covered include leadership, teamwork, group decision making, negotiation, agile project management, and effective presentation skills. This year marked the debut of a new module called “Engineering Team Creativity,” designed by Paul and Rich Kremsdorf.
This module presented a process incorporating five tools students can use to engineer their team’s processes to generate enhanced creativity and effectiveness, while making participation more satisfying. Teams used these methods to work on their weeklong project. They successfully experienced making conscious decisions about the processes they use to perform their work and how they were able to “engineer” their processes to produce more creative and productive outcomes.
