Global LT, a leading provider of language and cultural training, translation and destination services, has been selected by the University of Michigan Graduate School of Information to participate in a 14-week client-based course entitled Contextual Inquiry and Project Management, according to Suzanne Smulsky, Global LT's Marketing & Communication Director.  Global LT is headquartered in Troy, MI.

The course requires Master's students to perform an in-depth analysis of a process flow of organizational information use from several perspectives.  According to the School of Information, graduate students, working with a participating company, seek information flows within the organization that could be more effective or efficient and analyze them, identify key issues, and provide a set of recommendations for improvement to the participating company. 

 

‘Participation from local organizations is critical to our SI 501 Contextual Inquiry and Project Management course.  It is a win-win for students and the participating clients.  Students get a great real world opportunity to learn how information influences critical processes within organizations.  Clients get a novel perspective on ways to address process problems from an interdisciplinary team of students', states Ixchel Faniel, Assistant Professor, University of Michigan School of Information. 

According to Ms. Smulsky, 10 Global LT employees will work with the U of M team.    ‘The Global LT team is really enthusiastic about partnering with U of M.  It's a great school.  Our employees work hard and, although we believe our processes are robust; we're always looking for ways to improve. This really is a win-win.'
