SPOTLIGHT! 2023
The Tauber Advantage Team projects are just one way that Tauber students distinguish themselves from other business and engineering graduates. Tauber programs and courses also enhance their employability: •
The LeadershipAdvantageSM program of learning modules and workshops emphasizes leading and influencing an organization through collaboration, creativity, communication, and analytics.
•
The Tauber Leadership Speaker Series invites high-level executives to share insights with students about their careers, the qualities needed in today’s global economy for strong leadership, and tangible steps students can take to achieve excellence in their own career paths.
•
•
Facility assessments deliver insight into operations and lean manufacturing. Students learn to perform a rapid audit of the state of an operation, judge the relative leanness of the operation, prioritize targets of opportunity for improvements, and develop an action plan to facilitate those improvements. The Global Operations Conference brings leaders in industry and academia together to strategize new ways to advance the practice of operations worldwide.
•
The Leadership Forum allows Tauber students to learn about ethical leadership directly from current leaders in operations from top global firms.
•
Tauber students are encouraged to give back. Each year, on Community Service Day, they apply what they’ve learned to address operations challenges at southeast Michigan nonprofits.
•
The Integrated Product Development course is an experiential, cross-disciplinary course that immerses teams of students from Business, Engineering, Art & Design, and Information in a competitive product development environment.
Many Tauber students assume leadership roles in organizing the Global Operations Conference, Leadership Forum, Industry Panel, and Tauber Leadership Speaker Series, gaining valuable experience in the complexities of event planning and developing rapport with the seasoned executives they bring to campus. Student groups plan Tauber’s Community Service Day and organize networking events, and Student Advisory Board members work closely with Tauber leadership to strive for continuous improvement in our own operations.
