Course Description
This course focuses on the practices and processes that innovators use to ideate, test, and implement innovation effectively. Over the semester we will examine six aspects of social innovation: exploring, defining, ideating, implementing, testing, and renewing innovation. We will do this by using a variety of methodologies including design thinking, systems thinking and lean methodologies.
This project-based course is designed to provide a deep understanding of social innovation by guiding students in testing their ideas and the process required to turn their ideas into reality.
