Mi nueva empresa: los siguientes pasos
Este curso ha sido diseñado para ser el último del programa en Desarrollo de nuevas empresas (https://www.coursera.org/specializations/desarrollo-nuevas-empresas), y se espera que cuando lo inicies ya hayas hecho el ajuste entre tu producto y el consumidor (se trabaja en el curso ¿Cómo convertir mi idea en empresa?), la composición del modelo de negocio de tu emprendimiento (se trabaja en el curso ¿Cómo construir mi modelo de negocio?) y hayas definido las cifras de tu empresa (se trabaja en el curso ¿Cómo financiar mi empresa?). Si aún no has tomado los 3 cursos anteriores a este, te recomendamos que lo hagas y así llegues a este curso preparado para integrar todo el aprendizaje logrado en esos cursos previos para ponerlo al servicio de tu propio proyecto. En cada uno de los cursos precedentes, haz realizado iterativamente unos desplazamientos entre teoría y práctica, integrando lo mejor de los dos mundos, pero siempre con un enfoque en el tema particular de cada curso. Aquí, el objetivo es lograr que tú como emprendedor lleves cada una de las dimensiones de la empresa a un desempeño muy alto, y más allá de esto, que la ventaja de la empresa se vea apuntalada por claras sinergias entre los distintos componentes. Esta suma de fortalezas lleva a que las capacidades sean difíciles de replicar y a que la ventaja sea sostenible. En este curso harás una evaluación integral del negocio, identificarás barreras que debes resolver y generarás soluciones creativas que te permitan superar estas restricciones, actuando al mismo tiempo en los distintos niveles que ahora manejas (el ajuste entre el producto y el consumidor, la composición del modelo de negocio y la agilidad con las cifras de la empresa). Al cerrar este curso, habrás activado tu capacidad para conducir tu emprendimiento con mano certera y de comunicarlo desde una perspectiva integral. Contarás con una amplia gama de recursos para generar nuevas estrategias de crecimiento. Objetivo de aprendizaje: Evaluar las fortalezas y debilidades del proyecto desarrollado hasta ahora y plantear soluciones creativas que integren todos los componentes, desde el conocimiento del consumidor hasta los componentes del modelo de negocio y los factores que determinan los flujos de efectivo y rentabilidad. Esta etapa recoge los principales aprendizajes desarrollados a lo largo de los cursos anteriores. Se sugiere la construcción de la solución integrada en grupos de 5 personas, donde cada uno de los participantes hace parte de la junta directiva de los proyectos de sus compañeros de grupo.

Interpretable Machine Learning Applications: Part 2
By the end of this project, you will be able to develop intepretable machine learning applications explaining individual predictions rather than explaining the behavior of the prediction model as a whole. This will be done via the well known Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) as a machine learning interpretation and explanation model. In particular, in this project, you will learn how to go beyond the development and use of machine learning (ML) models, such as regression classifiers, in that we add on explainability and interpretation aspects for individual predictions. In this sense, the project will boost your career as a ML developer and modeler in that you will be able to explain and justify the behaviour of your ML model. The project will also benefit your career as a decision-maker in an executive position interested in deploying trusted and accountable ML applications. This guided project is primarily targeting data scientists and machine learning modelers, who wish to enhance their machine learning application development with explanation components for predictions being made. The guided project is also targeting executive planners within business companies and public organizations interested in using machine learning applications for automating, or informing, human decision making, not as a ‘black box’, but also gaining some insight into the behavior of a machine learning classifier.

Cross-Cultural Virtual Spaces and Teams
Airplanes gave us the ability to travel across oceans to visit international team members. But virtual spaces are now bringing us together in an instant. New rules have been written, and as work-from-home is on the rise, re-written, and they bring their own unique cross-cultural challenges. We’ll discuss communication differences unique to text-driven spaces like email and instant message as well as the evolving world of video conferencing. We’ll explore unique cultural challenges brought up by this “new office”, such as the blending of private and public spaces, the “virtual water cooler” of informal virtual communication, and the “time zone dance” done by teams sharing virtual work done while one half is asleep. The future is now. Thanks to technological advances, we have an opportunity to show up, share our cultures, and build creative and innovative pathways to successful multinational teams. Let’s build best practices together in this virtual space and then work together to make them go viral!
