Strategic Operations Immersion Practicum

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

The Semester in Strategic Operations (SSO) is a semester-long intensive program in understanding how to design, manage, measure, and improve the planning and delivery of goods and services. From its origins as Johnson's manufacturing immersion, SSO has evolved to provide a balanced view of production, supply chain, and service operations across a wide range of sectors, with examples drawn from aerospace, agriculture, automotive, digital technology, healthcare, retailing, and others. The strategic component of operations emerges as we explore the challenges and opportunities associated with operations' linkages with data analytics, human capital, finance, marketing, technology, and new product development, and as we synchronize operational tactics with  business strategy. SSO achieves its learning objectives using (i) class curriculum; (ii) site visits; (iii) guest speakers; and (iv) industry-sponsored projects. A large portion of the course work is team-based and participation in several one-day, off-campus trips is required. SSO enrolls students from the Johnson School, the College of Engineering, and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations, and the course is designed to take advantage of this diversity in the student body.
