Students will leverage proven co-creation tools and best practices to ideate truly disruptive concepts and bring these concepts to life through prototypes and design models. The goal is to understand how existing co-creation methods have empowered innovators and disruptors worldwide to generate more sustainable ideation frameworks and to harness cross-disciplinary expertise in the development of groundbreaking change. This course emphasizes active collaboration with leading external forces that have made ‘co-creation’ a central driver for their organizational vision and future success.
