Other Information
Business Design Charette Methodology (BDCM) – Carlo’s teaching philosophy in delivering course subject matter is through activity-based learning. By applying his experience as a professor, as a former architect and as a management consultant he developed the BDCM and uses it at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The BDCM is based on the design studio Charette process used traditionally by architects. The BDCM teaches students how to go through an intense “Design Charette” process for business topics and subject matter (not building architectural design). The BDCM promotes team development and fosters learning by applying acquired business knowledge and skills to a diverse set of business subject matter topics. The learning experience for a student is greatly enhanced.
Dean’s Review Panel – While at MU Carlo instituted the Dean’s Review Panel for the SBT Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA) capstone course highlighting business planning. In this required capstone course student teams develop a semester long project (e.g., a business) and related business plan. The teams present their project plans to the Dean’s Review Panel, which includes the SBT Dean along with other selected faculty and invited professional subject matter experts. The Dean’s Review Panel continues to this day and has evolved and matured over the last ten years. Other SBT programs (i.e., MBA program) have adopted this venue with great success. The students are reluctant at the semester’s start but by the end they are elated at the outcome and realize the importance the process serves in preparing them for the real professional working world.
Arlington County – Economic Development Commissioner – Carlo was appointed in December 2018 to a three-year position as a Commissioner with Arlington Economic Development office and the Economic Development Commission. In this capacity Carlo has worked on a task for developing Four Mile Run (neighborhood) Arts and Industry District, Small Business Enhancement and testified and voted to bring Amazon to Northern Virginia in 2019. Additionally, Carlo has brought visibility to Marymount University in Arlington County through student volunteering, internships and class projects.
