About the Concentration
The demands facing global business, governments, and society are increasingly complex. Navigating this dynamic environment will require leaders who understand how to bring order to this complexity, drive and navigate social change, and develop solutions that yield impact.
The interdisciplinary graduate concentration in Transformational Innovation and Design draws on insights from Innovation Science to provide graduate students with the opportunity to gain an end-to-end perspective on innovation. Innovation Science is rooted in the design process and founded on rigorous theory, methods, and experiences from a diverse array of disciplines. Students can take courses which span: problem framing and contextualization (envision); solution conceptualization, exploration, and development (shape) and trial, adoption, and impact realization (pursue). The concentration is suited for graduate students seeking to drive impact in complex socio-technical settings that require the design, development, and adoption of physical or conceptual innovations.
