Description:

Innovation is equal parts idea generation and execution. A successful innovation manager needs to be able to nurture both their team’s ability to come up with breakthrough ideas grounded in insight and human need, as well as build, sustain, and evolve a new concept within an organization. This all requires deep empathy for others, agile collaboration, and management skills which are all better learned through practice than theory. Innovation Management by Design will immerse students in a case study that is relevant to current real-world challenges so that they will need to rapidly apply and adapt their learnings and develop new business concepts.
