MBA Immersion: Washington, DC
Kogod School of Business
Led by Dr. Maureen McCusker. Teams have become the indispensable backbone of most modern-day organizations. Simply put, without teams, most organizations cannot effectively run. Despite their importance, few organizations truly leverage insights from team science and related disciplines to build, staff, develop, grow, and evaluate their teams. The recent rise of hybrid work and dispersed teams has only added to the complex, dynamic nature of teams, underscoring the importance of maintaining team health. This immersion will take a scientist-practitioner approach to building and maintaining healthy business teams that thrive and perform. Students will learn both the scientific research on team staffing/composition, maintenance, and health, as well as the practical application of building and maintaining healthy teams through visits and discussions with organizations from a variety of different sectors.
