This course contains interesting points about group decision methods and change management. I think it could be deeper, but I liked it overall.

in the test feedback there should be an explanation regarding wrong answers and what is supposed to be chosen to demonstrate the right answer.

A disconnect between Video Lecture - Transcript (horrid form !) - Slides - Test questions. Information flow should be more fluent.
