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 use of SOD methods & the rapid learning process to implement developed concepts
  • 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
