 What will you learn?

What will you learn?

  • Delve into hunches: what they look like and their central role in solving real-world problems.

  • Examine the solvable, recognizable, and verifiable attributes of real-world problems in order to devise solutions for them.

  • Engage in a process of critical thinking to prototype and scale up your problem.

  • Develop a kit for innovating, incorporating the strategies and tools needed to transform hunches into real-world impact.

  • Work with strategies for scoping out a space of opportunity.

  • Address significant problems with limited resources by bringing them down to table scale.

  • Discover how to secure the tangible and non-tangible resources needed to scale up your work.

  • Explore how to collect and use data and information appropriately and to your advantage to write a final technology-problem report that advances your innovating.

All the participants who successfully complete their program will receive an MIT Professional Education Certificate of Completion, as well as Continuing Education Units (CEUs)*.

To obtain CEUs, complete the accreditation confirmation, which is available at the end of the course. CEUs are calculated for each course based on the number of learning hours.

*The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is defined as 10 contact hours of ongoing learning to indicate the amount of time they have devoted to a non-credit/non-degree professional development program.

To understand whether or not these CEUs may be applied toward professional certification, licensing requirements, or other required training or continuing education hours, please consult your training department or licensing authority directly.

Course overview

    This excellent course is not just a 'follow the recipe' technique, rather it is a structured way of mentally approaching and evaluating innovation. It equips you to think critically and creatively about the solution you perceive, recognize and deal with innovation problems early on in the process, and remove uncertainties. I found the framework presented to be valuable and thought-provoking, and it is definitely something I will use in the future.
