A brief summary follows, but be sure to visit the program’s website for specifics.
A product’s socio-ecological impacts are largely determined by decisions made during the early phases of the innovation process. These decisions can have positive and negative effects on society and the planet through the product’s life cycle. Because of this, the program aims to prepare its students to be systems innovators who can: create leap frog solutions that lead us strategically towards a sustainable society; manage a whole innovation process for sustainability – from need finding to ideation, design and implementation; and have a strategic approach based on systems thinking.
