The internship alternates teaching and practice.
A systemic approach is used to link many project methods and tools and organize them along a “Value Analysis” backbone in view of the achievement of the purpose of the organization.
A study case, chosen between the propositions of the participants themselves, is used to illustrate the concepts and tools presented.
Practice is done in small groups of 4-5 people.
