Data, Policy Product Mindset

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor

In this class we will introduce product skill sets that will help you scope and execute on open-ended problems in the data-driven policy space. Our focus is on the details in implementation. The details of a policy are often the most important ethical considerations in the implementation, which are easily overlooked. We will also cover how to identify and navigate those challenges. You will also learn about human-centered design principles and how to use those principles to align policy solutions to real needs in a variety of environments (government, public-private partnerships, consulting, NGOs, etc.). Classes will center around real-world use cases - both those that have yielded results and those that have not.
