Applied Introduction to Design Thinking and Innovation

As the world changes at an unprecedented pace, ambiguity is everywhere. Design thinking, innovation, agile, and many other approaches to problem solving have never been more important. But often these methods are only accessible to an exclusive club of people who are certified in a methodology and allowed to practice design and innovation. In this course, we believe in radical access to design and innovation. We believe that for design and innovation to change the world for the better, it has to be inclusive, human centered, and accessible to everyone everywhere. In this course, students learn how to become innovative and leverage the foundational mindsets and abilities of design thinking and innovation to make change in their lives, organizations, and the world. Students may not take both MGMT E-7542 (offered previously) and MGMT E-7543 for degree or certificate credit.
