Course Description
You are an innovator in study, work and life. This course will broaden and strengthen your innovation effectiveness. You will discover how technology, society, governments, and global trends drive change in the future of work over the span of your career. You will gain a holistic view of innovation - of self, others, and the task. Understand how bringing people and project together in innovation ecosystems brings new ideas to life, strategically delivering an innovation's true value into the hands of adopters.
Your course is richly illustrated with fast paced interactive learning activities and topics. Concepts will be brought to life through stories from alumni students, STEM industry leaders both locally and international. The engaging workshops, serious games and assessment will bring the topics together and provide you with the opportunity to apply your discipline insight as you build your skills and knowledge.
Whether you are a collaborator or leader in innovation, both the skills and an innovator’s mindset are highly valued by industry. Yet, you may find that it’s of more significant personal value as a strategy for a resilient, vibrant, and fulfilling career in a future of accelerating change.
