STRAMGT 323: Design Thinking in the Context of Global Scale Organizations

Driving innovation at large global organizations is extremely challenging. As organizations establish and become successful, the culture and processes calcify and resisting changes becomes the norm. As a result, organizations fail to reframe big problems, identify unmet needs and challenge the status quo. The goal of this course is to prepare students for design thinking in complex, globally distributed organizations. Specifically, the goal is to impart students with a personal sense of creative confidence but also (1) be confident in their ability to navigate global scale organizations that are multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural, (2) recognize patterns of resistant behavior, (3) create coalitions of support at different levels of the organization (and externally), (4) be willing to adapt, adjust and even drop what they have learned about design thinking for a particular situation, (5) be patient, gritty and have the tenacity to drive change and (6) leverage technology to come up with design solutions. Students in this course will work in interdisciplinary teams to work on projects that will be sponsored by external partners including for and non-profit businesses and government agencies. The projects will be on real world challenges that global scale organizations face and on finding solutions using design thinking principles and technology. This full immersion course provides the opportunity for students to get practical training in design thinking, solve big problems while also figuring out a way to leverage design thinking and technology to create a lasting and global impact.
