Learning objectives
|
-
• Define the concepts of a “co-creation, Innovation and Design” and the practice of “co-creation of innovation” from multiple perspectives, and explain the differences between those perspectives.
-
• Define the similarities and differences between co-creation, Design and innovation, on the one hand, and programs, initiatives, or general management operations on the other, in order to specify the particular challenges, responsibilities and opportunities that confront innovators.
-
• Describe and account for the differences between, for example, Innovation projects, co-creation and design projects. other kinds of projects, and draw on these differences to critique universal theories of co-creation of innovation, a design perspective.
-
• Explain the origins and define the major characteristics of the mainstream “co-creation, innovation and design related body of knowledge,” and specify the accepted tools that have been developed to help co-creation.
-
• Employ a design perspective on co-creation of innovation to underscore the assumptions and potential shortcomings behind mainstream approaches to co-creation of innovation.
-
• Apply these concepts and perspectives to the analysis of a range of cases chosen to exemplify the nature of various kinds of projects and the particular challenges that confront contemporary innovators.

Oral exam on the basis of a mini project (individual or group).
The student is not entitled to supervision.
20 minutes per student incl. performance discussion.
The mini project is written in parallel with the course
no preparation for the oral exam
Max. 10 pages per student
Max. 15 pages per 3-5 students
The date for handing in the project will be decided by the secretary
The teacher will act as examiner at the oral exam.
2nd examiner is internal (CBS). Even if it is a group exam, each student must be assessed individually.
The students do not need to give an account of which parts of the project they are responsible for.
The mini project and the oral exam are both included in the overall assessment. The title question(s) and content of the project must be prepared by the student(s) within the framework of the syllabus, possibly together with the teacher. The oral examination will be based on a discussion and a perspective of the mini project. The examiner may ask questions that go beyond the project, but within the framework of the syllabus.

Course content
|
This course focuses on how we might use contemporary design perspectives and methods to co-creatively develop more effective innovation. It synergistically combines three distinct fields, all of which are concerned with producing new and useful outcomes: co-creation, innovation, and design. Co-creation—where two or more people or groups come together to bring something new into the world—is increasingly being turned to when multiplex solutions are needed that can satisfy diverse stakeholder needs. Innovation has now become the predominant factor in organization survival worldwide, replacing scale and stability as determinants of success and longevity. And design, with its inherent focus on originality and creative problem solving, is becoming a promising approach to working with complex problems of innovation. Taken together, these three concepts will be considered from an international and contextual perspective—we will be working with live multinational organizations as well published case material.

Teaching methods
|
|
This course relies on a mixed learning model that combines traditional didactic approaches (e.g., explanatory readings, lectures) with experiential approaches (e.g., international, studio-style projects, case reading, in class discussion). Specifically, some of the classes will employ the Harvard Business School style “case method”. This means joining theoretical and framework material into organized systems of knowledge—the course “take always” will be developed, refined, and extended during class discussions. In addition, students will work on a number of live co-creation projects in a studio setting, where an organization provides an innovation problem and student groups address it using design-led, co-creative methods. It is likely that groups will be working with international counterparts in N. America and Canada and that some of the organizational problems will have a multinational character. Because the learning is highly “hands-on”, regular class attendance is strongly encouraged. The course will be taught in an interactive style that history suggests you will find engaging—but only if you read materials and come to class prepared to discuss them.
