The Innovation Field Project is the second experiential course in the full-time MBA program. Students work in teams to define, and scope problems posed by partner organizations, and deliver innovative solutions using evidence-based approaches. Students use the concepts and tools studied in their first year – such as research methods, data analytics, creative problem-solving techniques, and discipline-specific knowledge – to analyze the business issue at hand and provide innovative, actionable recommendations to the project partners. The business problem might relate to a wide range of issues, including process or service design, strategy development, financial risk management, or marketing. Projects might also encompass large scale thematic issues facing contemporary organizations, such as the ethical dilemmas that leaders face. Projects can be in any sector including tech, retail, banking, health or manufacturing. HTI focused projects may include physician group practices, hospitals, pharmaceutical firms, public health organizations and biotechnology firms.
