EMS	516	Capstone II: Workshop II			GRD	SF	Develops a proof of concept based on project proposal and feasibility study. Requires a TED-style final project presentation.
EMS	504	Comm & Sustainability I			GRD	SF	One of the greatest challenges for leadership in sustainability is multidisciplinary communications. Currently, sustainability itself lacks meaning and emotion, which leads to a lack of commitment and execution. Therefore, all future executives must be proficient communicators who can convey vision and human context to the organization’s sustainability initiatives. Helps you survey your internal communications environment, understand students target audiences and their unique customer centricities and develops their voices through the use of proven story structure.
EMS	509	Comm & Sustainability II			GRD	SF	Marketing and communication professionals in all industries are attempting to keep up with the rapidly expanding landscape of multichannel communications. This is especially true in sustainability, given that the Chief Sustainability Officer must understand and appreciate the modes of communications across all platforms, not just in the consumer market. Maps internal, external and target audiences/markets; strategizes channels to reach them with sustainability stories; and creates a multichannel communications plan that incorporates modes of engagement for all audiences.
EMS	513	Comm & Sustainability III			GRD	SF	Most stories of sustainability are driven and told with data as its central character. Unfortunately, data is nearly meaningless to our minds unless it is placed in an illuminating human context. The best chief sustainable storytellers bring meaning to data through the use of metaphor brought to life by thought-provoking narrative. Story grips the mind and propels people forward. Students develop proof of concepts for campaigns, expand social media presence and influence, create and record a 20-minute presentation in the style of a TedTALK, and become a leader in sustainable communications.
EMS	502	Global Context I			GRD	SF	Leaders in any organization face an increasingly connected and transparent world where social and environmental issues must be weighed in everyday decisions. Explores iconic sustainability issues and trends and their impact on their organization, institutions, communities and stakeholders. Applies tools to identify the relevant risks and opportunities within their organizational context and investigates potential responses.
EMS	506	Global Context II			GRD	SF	As material sustainability issues are identified and prioritized and as the organization applies sustainability as core success platform, the organization looks to mitigating risks outside of its control, shaping the risks it can control, and creating new opportunities and leveraging those identified in the process. Global context comes into focus not only in expanding resource relationships and concerns, but also across dimensions of time, responsibility, success and a growing need to engage with an ever-growing group of stakeholders and potential partners. Organizations and leaders must innovate and execute at all levels of the organization to match the evolving reality. Explores and applies global sustainability as a knowledge platform for ongoing success, organizational innovation and effective organizational leadership.
EMS	511	Global Context III			GRD	SF	Sustainability leaders help their organizations recognize when material issues require solutions that extend beyond their control or capabilities, and when to look for, participate in and potentially lead industry, cross-industry, regional or other collaborative approaches. Global sustainability context becomes an increasingly proactive concept where individual and organizational responsibility and success extends to a global scale. Organizations organize themselves as agents of change toward sustainability that aligns with more traditional organizational success. Students learn from successes and failures of current and past attempts and assess the implications for this change in leadership perspective to their organizational context.
EMS	508	International Immersive			GRD	SF	The international immersive experience takes place in a compelling location where all the challenges and opportunities of sustainability are in play. It is designed as a dynamic vehicle to make real-world connections to sustainability leaders, projects and communities, and is among the most memorable experiences of the program. Students "see" and "feel" sustainability from another country and culture’s perspective and see the overlap and conflict to their own context. Extending one’s professional network to other host countries and generating a reflective experience and analysis report are experiential learning artifacts that are generated from this experience. Collaborative teams work through a sustainability case study and present their solutions.
EMS	515	Capstone I			GRD	SF	Capstone project and gateway to starting innovative sustainability initiatives and thinking. Planning, components and deliverables of the capstone from the first in-person immersion in January.

The proof of concept also becomes the final component of the e-portfolio.
EMS	503	Strategic Sustainability I			GRD	SF	Sustainability requires that strategic thinking reaches beyond traditional forms and horizons of strategic planning, such as forecasting and prediction, in order to deal with expanded planning dimensions, emerging "wicked problems" and to identify flexible platforms for success. Explores the interface between strategy and sustainability, developing a framework for strategic sustainability that underpins authentic and transparent strategic efforts. Students engage in mapping, planning and prioritizing methods, tools and techniques to identify and assess strategic opportunities.
EMS	507	Strategic Sustainability II			GRD	SF	As sustainability becomes a core strategic goal of any organization, it impacts all aspects of the organization from informing risk and reward to the definitions and dimensions of innovation and overall success. Uses reframing, re-visioning and backcasting via a sustainability lens as constructs for introducing strategic sustainability across all aspects of an organization–both internally and externally. Applies various methods such as natural capitalism, design for sustainability/method of sustainable product design, Anderson method, cradle-to-cradle and framework for strategic sustainable development to develop flexible action platforms for sustainable enterprises. Students create a strategic vision, action plan for an organization, including critical external partnerships with communities and institutions.
EMS	512	Strategic Sustainability III			GRD	SF	Organizations that aim at sustainability come to recognize that they must be part of sustainable success on all scales, from local to global, from internal to external and for today and tomorrow. Tools such as resource plans, investment pathways, stakeholder engagement and policy influencers set the theatre for sustainability-oriented organization to challenge the status quo and advance agendas that embed both success and sustainability. Students apply their enhanced strategic sustainability skills to examine select case studies on international sustainability in corporate and nongovernmental agencies.
EMS	505	Sustainability Leadership I			GRD	SF	The practice of leadership in sustainability requires leading in multidisciplinary roles across multiple scales of an organization. In many of today’s organizations, leadership must identify, communicate and support novel organizational contexts as sustainability emerges. Enables students to meld powerful and traditional leadership skills while challenging the student’s prior knowledge with multiple lens of leadership in a sustainability context. Students create a personal plan for their unique needs and personal growth toward sustainability leadership.
EMS	510	Sustainability Leadership II			GRD	SF	As sustainability emerges as a core strategic platform for an organization, leadership and sustainability intertwine; leadership opportunities–and responsibilities–greatly expand; thus requiring innovation. Individual leadership and organizational leadership are asked to find opportunity via extended definitions of critical systems; value webs, increased roles for diverse internal and external partnerships, and the need to lead within increasingly complex and unpredictable global systems. Engage students to challenge their prior definitions of systems, responsibility and community from the perspective of sustainability and leadership and provides a toolbox for leading with sustainability as a fundamental success platform.
EMS	514	Sustainability Leadership III			GRD	SF	Lasting, sustainable change fully takes hold once ownership and accountability extends well into the organization and community. Engages the student to identify and apply pathways to inspire, persuade and influence others to act toward a shared global vision. Future orientation, reframing organizations to be globally scalable and still be locally focused, leadership best practices for diverse, multinational, and international human talents and redefining success and growth using sustainability as a success lens are great tasks that sustainability leaders face.
EMS	501	Workshop I			GRD	SF	Formally takes students into the four learning threads of the EMSL program and the ASU brand of sustainability.
