Creative Skills for Innovation:

Innovation is the key factor for success for many companies. Innovation is not a black box: it is a process that has been explored in great depth, and it’s a skill that can be learned. Right here - right now. Creative Skills for Innovation (CSI) supports attendees to achieve innovation success through a robust process - design thinking - delivered in a specifically designed environment, in a rapidly reduced time frame. - You may think "design"... Do I need to be an architect or designer to participate? Don't worry! On the contrary, students from all academic disciplines can participate and no preparation is needed.

CSI will take you through a 5 phase Design Thinking framework to give you the mindset, process and tools you need to accelerate innovation skills and to find out what it takes to get from ill-defined problems to well-designed solutions. Through experiencing the highly interactive CSI, you will build your own innovation skills, whilst at the same time think and work with people from a range of different areas.

CSI are generally designed for teams with individuals of diverse backgrounds, as we believe in the power of multi-disciplinary teams and the synergies of diversity. There is no special preparation needed and students from all academic disciplines can participate.
