Outline and Purpose of the Course To discover and solve real problems in society concerning design activities, we will ask relevant experts or stakeholders to create teams for open innovation and conduct a series of workshops to achieve the goal. The students' role is not to participate in problem-solving or problem finding as an expert but simply to form and manage the above-mentioned teams for open innovation. Through this, the students will develop their communication and management skills, as well as learn the design theory and design methods to lead design activities to success through practice.

The objectives of this course are for students to (1) understand the structure of a situation, identify experts and stakeholders who can discover the root cause of the problem, and form a team for open innovation by observing and analyzing a given real-world situation; and (2) learn to apply the design theories and methods necessary for discovering and solving the problem in project management and support the open innovation team in defining and solving the problem.
Course Goals The objective of this course is to manage the practice of design and to acquire design theory and design methods through open innovation practice.
