Course description:
As we make the transition from the industrial to the innovation age, individuals, companies and even countries now see their competitiveness in terms of a deep-seated ability to create new sources of value. This course addresses the gap between the desire for innovation and opportunities to learn how "do" innovation, which is a complex phenomenon that blends disciplines and goes all the way from individual psychology to complex social dynamics. The curriculum is experiential and based on collaborative learning. This course links to purpose, exploits the value of digital technology, is founded on projects and culminating challenges, makes best use of in class time by flipping the classroom, provides access to a continuously updated knowledge base, and affords ample and diverse opportunities for feedback.
