Om emnet

In a complex world that requires a high level of expertise, it is natural to differentiate fields into separate units or areas to attain sufficient depth. However, this approach is challenging when complex issues require collaboration between many fields to gain an adequate understanding of the problems and to ensure that the devised solutions do not unintentionally result in new complications.

In this module, we examine the challenges of successful transdisciplinary work and link them to various systems theories. These insights are subsequently connected to the students’ projects and the development of expert networks. In addition, we cover topics such as innovation, organisational change, psychology, and facilitation. We also engage with extreme teaming and, naturally, its associated management aspects.

Læringsutbytte
