Innovation to influence system change

Leadership toward sustainable development requires you to creatively address complex problems that are often systemic and politically charged. In this unit, you will creatively and collaboratively explore a real-world problem and build a strategic understanding of the problem's context and potential opportunities for change. This includes the ability to see the problem from different viewpoints, understand its past and current drivers, and consider alternate future paths for improvement.

Having built this strategic understanding, you will then gain tactics and tools to innovate for sustainable change. You will practice with industry-relevant methods and develop personal skills required to design solutions across sectors and scales. These include rapid prototyping, stakeholder analysis, and communication techniques to win support for your innovative initiatives.
