This course on innovation management and design is essential in today’s fast-paced and complex world, particularly for professionals in engineering. It emphasizes the leader’s role as both an innovator and a facilitator of innovation. Students will develop fundamental skills in innovation and creative problem-solving, with a focus on finding innovative solutions to everyday social challenges. Innovation involves the practical transformation of ideas into new products, services, processes, systems, and social interactions, generating added value that satisfies various stakeholders and drives sustainable growth while enhancing quality of life and fostering a sustainable society. Innovation extends beyond technology to encompass all dimensions of the economy and society. Originating in the 1980s at Stanford University, the concept of innovation, inspired by designers, architects, and artists, centers on the needs of users and employs tools such as observation, inquiry, experimentation, and visual thinking to understand and communicate ideas effectively. While often associated with product design, innovation and design thinking are applicable to a wide range of problem-solving contexts, including business modeling and process improvement.
