Topic: The Dynamic Cyber-Based View of the Firm: Implications from Program Management as Organizations Become Cyborg

Talent Triangle: Strategic/Business Management (0.5 PDU) and Technical Project Management (0.5 PDU)

Description:  As Organizations place more and more "key terrain" in the cyber domain, the role of the program manager changes. Scrum software development, virtual teams, open source business models, and data as a product or service have significant impacts on program management.  Professor Schwarts will discuss how the role of the program manager is being impacted by these monumental shifts.
