【Course Objectives】

Learning outcomes for this course, upon successful completion, include the ability to: 1) understand how design has shifted from making things beautiful to serving as a strategic resource,
2) critically analyze design management and leadership practices in organizations already utilizing design principles,
3) reflect on how design-driven organizations create positive and negative value not only for their immediate stakeholders but for the broader societal context, and 4) apply design tools and methodologies to a real-life project

【Course Contents】

Today’s problems are increasingly complex, which is why we need to approach them from multiple perspectives as well as in a way that links solutions to the bigger picture. Moreover, contemporary thinking on how companies deliver value to their customers is broadening from dyadic to complex relationships, implying that organizations do not exist in a vacuum. Within this complexity and ambiguity, design as a means to solve problems and create propositions for the future is well positioned. Bearing this in mind, in this course we do not approach design as the ultimate solution to every problem in the world. Instead, main focus will be on understanding how design has shifted from making things pretty towards a social and environmental catalyst.
