Secure Basics and MFA
Secure access is the basis of every modern IT environment, yet many security incidents begin with simple stuff: a compromised password. Secure Basics and MFA is a practical course designed to help IT managers understand why strong authentication matters and how multi-factor authentication (MFA) reduces unauthorized access risk. Rather than treating security as a purely technical concern, this course frames MFA as a habit that protects corporate data, builds trust, and limits exposure even when credentials are stolen. Learners explore how common attacks bypass password-only protection, why MFA disrupts those attacks, and how access decisions shape organizational risk. Through realistic scenarios, reflective Coach Dialogues, and hands-on activities, learners connect security concepts to real login behavior. The course also guides learners through enabling two-step verification on their own Atlassian account, reinforcing confidence and usability alongside security. By the end of the course, learners can clearly explain how MFA blocks unauthorized logins, evaluate access risks in everyday situations, and adopt secure authentication practices that scale across teams and organizations.

Advanced Models for Decision Making
Business analysts need to be able to prescribe optimal solution to problems. But analytics courses are often focused on training students in data analysis and visualization, not so much in helping them figure out how to take the available data and pair that with the right mathematical model to formulate a solution. This course is designed to connect data and models to real world decision-making scenarios in manufacturing, supply chain, finance, human resource management, etc. In particular, we understand how linear optimization - a prescriptive analytics method - can be used to formulate decision problems and provide data-based optimal solutions. Throughout this course we will work on applied problems in different industries, such as: (a) Finance Decisions: How should an investment manager create an optimal portfolio that maximizes net returns while not taking too much risks across various investments? (b) Production Decisions: Given projected demand, supply of raw materials, and transportation costs, what would be the optimal volume of products to manufacture at different plant locations? (c) HR Decisions: How many workers need to be hired or terminated over a planning horizon to minimize cost while meeting operational needs of a company? (c) Manufacturing: What would be the profit maximizing product mix that should be produced, given the raw material availability and customer demand? We will learn how to formulate these problems as mathematical models and solve them using Excel spreadsheet.

Fundamentals of Organization
Organization is a fundamental theme to understand the real functioning of each company or, more in general, of any institution, and it is part of the basic know-how of each manager. Organization design implies decisions on how work is subdivided and how coordination between the various activities and people who autonomously perform them is guaranteed. Moreover, organization design is willing to consider also the interdependences between people daily activities (namely processes): in fact, processes are the real lever to achieve organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Lastly, organization design should also consider how people and units take their decisions, given that organizing and deciding are two central and complementary activities of the managerial function. To achieve these goals, this course aims at explaining you the main concepts of organization, with a strong practical orientation: illustration of typical organizational problems through real corporate examples will be used. But a solid theoretical background is provided as well: the main theories behind organizational design will be used to dig into the main areas of investigation. The course investigates three main areas: the analysis and design of a proper organization, at the micro level (individual) and at the macro level (group of multiple individuals); the analysis of how to effectively manage processes, in terms of activities, performance and principles; the analysis of how to rapidly take decisions, in terms of process, constraints, models and game theory approach.

Cómo entrenar a tus electrones 1: Fundamentos de la electrónica analógica
La electrónica ha respaldado el desarrollo científico y tecnológico de la humanidad, ostentando un rol clave en los últimos 50 años. Nos admiramos de la capacidad del ser humano de diseñar circuitos integrados que contienen millones de transistores y que nos permiten procesar con gran precisión las señales más débiles provenientes de las antenas de telefonía celular, de las neuronas del cerebro, de una cámara digital, o de la carga depositada por partículas subatómicas que colisionan en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones en Suiza. Es difícil entender un circuito electrónico, y aún más difícil diseñarlo. Pero no es imposible. Los electrones pueden ser muy dóciles si sabemos dominarlos. "Cómo entrenar a tus electrones 1: Fundamentos de la electrónica analógica", el primero de una serie de tres MOOCs, te permitirá aprender lo más básico de la electrónica a nivel de diagramas de bloques y amplificadores operacionales.
