OBM Projects System
1st Year Supervisor: Erik Lerdal
2nd Year Supervisor: Steven Celmer
Undergraduate Supervisor: Miles Bennett
 Mission Statement
The mission of the OBM system is to provide supplemental information to masters’ level students about OBM that were unable to take the course available for whatever reason. The timely use of the information provided by the system will improve the quality, timeliness, and usefulness of the OBM projects being created by the students.
Ultimate Goal
 The goal of this system is to improve the quality of work that is being produced by masters’ students for their OBM projects. In the past, the overall quality, timeliness, and significance of their work were at an unacceptable level. The reasons varied, but the idea found to be the most likely root was the lack of knowledge about OBM, thus this system’s second goal is to provide that information. This system finally is designed to enhance the goal that BATS has of producing quality students but giving them tools to produce quality work.
The following are the forms of support that will be available to the student:
- Providing you with placements and possible project topics
- Providing you with performance management to aid in the completion of the 75 required hours
- Walking you through the general organizational “problem-solving” method
- Providing a forum where you can receive peer review of your analyses, decisions, methods, and conclusions
- Providing you with a general method for analyzing organizational problems
- Providing you with supporting materials for designing various organizational solutions and general suggestions for their implementation
- Providing you with assistance for creating your OBM orals presentation
