> For 45 years, UCLA Extension's Technical Management Program has provided
> "how to" answers to the challenges that technical managers face daily.
>
> The program is designed for first-level technical supervisors, mid-level
> technical managers, technical professionals (engineers, scientists, and
> software professionals) with high advancement potential, and non-technical
> managers in technology-based organizations.
>
> A special benefit is the opportunity for participants to personalize their
> own curriculum by selecting four courses, each one meeting two hours per
> day. Participants may choose from 25 course offerings to address these
> and other important management questions:
>
> o How can I develop products and services that will have a market?
> o How can I use technology as one of the drivers of organizational
> change?
> o How can I influence persons who do not report directly to me or to my
> boss?
> o How can I create a culture that nourishes creativity, customer service,
> risk taking, and accountability?
> o How can I successfully communicate in-house with peers, subordinates,
> and superiors, and with global customers and suppliers?
> o How can I carry out my managerial role in the face of major change in
> the organization?
> o How can I prepare myself for emerging trends and an uncertain future?
> o How can I better use or change aspects of my style of leadership to get
> desired results?
> o How can I identify and eliminate costly, nonvalue-added activities?
