   Creating a Team Culture of Continuous Learning,continuous-learning-culture,https://coursera.org/learn/continuous-learning-culture,Business,University of Pennsylvania,"With good reason there is mounting concern that organizational groups and teams often fail to learn from their experience. This is deeply troubling because groups and teams are often the main ways that work gets done in organizations. Two of the main reasons that groups and teams are often ineffective are because of: 1) The lack of organizational structures and support for teams and groups, 2) The lack of understanding and emphasis on learning."

In this course, we'll show you how to price a product based on how your customers value it and the psychology behind their purchase decisions. Led by Darden faculty and Boston Consulting Group global pricing experts, this course provides an in-depth understanding of value-based pricing and how to use it to capture more revenue.

  Advanced Modeling for Discrete Optimization,advancedmodeling,https://coursera.org/learn/advancedmodeling,Computer Sciences,"The University of Melbourne, The Chinese University of Hong Kong","Optimization is a common form of decision making, and is ubiquitous in our society. Its applications range from solving Sudoku puzzles to arranging seating in a wedding banquet. The same technology can schedule planes and their crews, coordinate the production of steel, and organize the transportation of iron ore from the mines to the ports. Good decisions in manpower and material resources management also allow corporations to improve profit by millions of dollars. Similar problems also underpin much of our daily lives and are part of determining daily delivery routes for packages, making school timetables, and delivering power to our homes."
  Advanced Styling with Responsive Design,responsivedesign,https://coursera.org/learn/responsivedesign,Computer Sciences,University of Michigan,"It used to be the case that everyone viewed webpages on about the same size screen. But with the explosion of the use of smartphones to access the Internet, the landscape of design has completely changed. People viewing your site will now expect that it will perform regardless of the platform (smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer). This ability to respond to any platform is called responsive design."

We explore ways the muscular system can be designed to generate higher force and power and the type of training needed to mold the athlete's physical capacity so it meets the energy and biochemical demands of the sport. We also examine the cost of plasticity when it is carried beyond the ability of the body to adjust itself to meet the imposed training stresses.

  Speaking to inform:  Discussing complex ideas with clear explanations and dynamic slides,inform-speech,https://coursera.org/learn/inform-speech,Personal Development,University of Washington,"In the professional realm, most speeches and presentations we give are informative in scope. A scientist needs to explain her recent research findings. A financial officer needs to report on quarterly earnings to his company’s board. A technology professional needs to educate a consumer about a new product. Any time you need to convey ideas or demonstrate a process, you’re dealing with informative speaking. Informative speaking is a fun puzzle. You need to think from the perspective of your audience to identify what they need to hear in order to understand the key ideas. How much does the audience already know? What are the most important elements to convey?"
