Kursusindhold
In order to create positive societal impact, it is essential to
understand and address complex systems in which sustainability
challenges sit, as well as the trade-offs that are associated with
sustainability. This course tackles this challenge and unpacks
complex problem framing in sustainability solutions across a value
chain. By adopting the approaches of human-centered design, design
thinking, and inclusive innovation, participants will practice
analyzing and synthesizing complex problems into manageable
problems that account for the problems’ root causes and surrounding
ecosystems and actors. The learnings of the course will be directly
applied to the problem framing of the Immersive Learning Project.
The Personal Development Plan is closely integrated with this
course, as participants will practice facilitating complex,
non-linear processes as well as mentorship and coaching techniques
through peer feedback throughout the phases of the course.
