Course content
Many valuable concepts and designs have been developed only to come to a halt during their implementation. After the previous module, where concepts will be thoroughly tested and developed, we will use this module to consider the insights that we have obtained in the project thus far with a particular emphasis on involvement and implementation. In this module, we will use systems-oriented design as a method to prepare a sound implementation of the project. This effort also involves understanding as much as possible about future obstacles and change management that is required to optimise the influence. The module also addresses visualisation.
Learning outcome
- Insight into implementation science
- Insight into use of SOD methods to implement developed concepts
- Enhanced practice of systems thinking
- An ability for visualisation to communicate change and create room for involvement
- Recognition of a link between innovation and implementation
- A strong ability of students to implement their own projects
Working and learning activities
The module consists of lectures, brief introductions to exercises and practical work in groups of students who encounter similar problems in their own work situations. The module is comprised of two seminars.
Evaluation
- Home exam on the presented theory linked to a plan/process for implementing the student’s own project
