MGT 622 - Organizational Innovation by Design, 3 credit hours

This course explores the application of design thinking to the challenges of building, sustaining and transforming complex real world systems. The focus is on (a) integrating insights from cutting edge innovation technologies rooted in human centered design (b) applying them to envision alternative organizational/ societal forms in an imaginative space unfettered by current reality and (b) developing the leadership capacity to spearhead change efforts in real world contexts. By combining deep self awareness with a critical intellectual understanding of the challenges of organizations and the broader context of globalization, the course seeks to produce an exponential breakthrough in one’s problem solving repertoire both as a local actor and as a global, cosmopolitan change agent.
