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.
