General OverviewAfter the course, the participants should be able to:
1. Identify, validate and persuasively communicate the role and value of a design-centric approach in enhancing innovation processes and entrepreneurial practices in established corporations or organizations, including startups or young companies.
2. Explore the benefits and challenges, including means and methods, of instilling a lean effectually driven entrepreneurial culture in organizations or corporations which are often causally driven.
3. Evaluate the suitability and applicability of design, design-thinking and effectual action through comparative case-based analysis, investigation, illumination and speculative application.
Learnings will be based on:
· Participants benefit from a range of methods including theoretical insights, practical case-based illumination and exploration through individual and team-based assignments which take advantage of prior and aggregated course inputs.
· Working methods are chosen to enrich and diversify discussions and team-based exploration by taking advantage of a range of disciplinary and cultural perspectives, capabilities and interests.
· Individual and group assignments are seen as an important collaborative vehicle, enabling participants to build on each other’s' insights and ideas in a project-based generative learning environment.
· The course is designed on the premise that it's important to experiment with new design strategies, concepts and ideas, try different innovation approaches, and test the utility of different theories through practical application.
