Learn. Perform. Succeed. So Why Change a Good Thing? Good, but can be even better! Objective-based, not competency-based Not Life Cycle-focused Duplication of LOG 201 and LOG 235 content Some content better suited for a future LOG 206 Material in not adequately integrated Still too instructor-centric Not yet a true capstone Logistics course

Learn. Perform. Succeed. Course will experience “spontaneous evolution” Next step in the Executive-level Logistics course: LOG 350 Enterprise Life Cycle Logistics Management Stephen J. Gould: Abbreviated/Punctuated Equilibrium
