Learning Objectives / Competencies:

The aim of the module is to learn innovation skills and build a "personal innovation strength" for "green" companies, focusing on the penetration of the innovation method of Design Thinking. Master students are able to apply Design Thinking to a real-life practical topic in the context of the Green Economy and to collaborate constructively and productively with others in a team (also using modern digital tools).

After completing the module, students will be able to:

  • Professional competence: The master students recognize the importance of innovation competencies for their roles / functions in companies. They learn to better assess themselves personally in terms of their strengths / weaknesses, to behave empathically and constructively in a group, and to transform a group into an effective team. Using the method of design thinking, they use these skills to successfully work on a "real case" for a company and develop an innovation concept. This enables them to successfully apply design thinking.
  • Methodological competence: Various test procedures for describing, observing and evaluating personality, learning type and competence level are applied, as well as the Design Thinking method. In addition, digital tools such as Slack or Trello are used to support teamwork in a contemporary way. The "real case" is constantly accompanied by a trainer/lecturer with feedback.
  • Self-competence: The master students learn to create their own ideas for the development of products and services via the "process of ideation" in the context of design thinking. They manage their time independently to create a result that they present in companies and work self-organizing in their teams.
  • Social competence: Through intensive collaboration in creative/interaction spaces, as well as lecturers who come from the field of "training", the master's students are brought into a constant exchange with each other. They learn to rely on one another, to support each other, to define team roles and to present together.
