How do we make innovation happen, change the status quo, create new and creative ideas and solutions and accelerate change - in businesses, with non-profits and for communities?

And it's application is becoming the new skill set needed in business, non-profit and public sector work. From reducing infant mortality in India, to improving public services for the elderly in Denmark to creating better customer experiences in banking in Portland design thinking is improving the way we work, innovative and make change happen.
In Design for Change, students will learn the new skills of a modern world. They will learn how to apply design thinking, creative problem solving and collaborative play dynamics to tackle complex problems. The course project challenges students to create teams, work with a non-profit in Santurce, go out and understand a problem that needs to be solved and use their creativity to create a real, impactful and sustainable solution in Santurce. Students will walk away with a new and practical ability to solve business, social, governmental and even personal challenges in a more dynamic way.
