Novel Innovation and Design Principles (TSM_InnoDes)

NOVEL INNOVATION & DESIGN PRINCIPLES. In order to keep generating competitive advantage through innovation, both manufacturing and service industries are in need to apply novel innovation and design principles. This module will focus on reuniting the study and practice of entrepreneurship and innovation. It takes a process-oriented view of agile Innovation.
First it starts with recognizing the opportunity and understanding the problem space using design thinking and selecting appropriate tools and methods. After achieving the Problem/Solution-Fit with the Lean Start-up approach an MVP is further developed and the using agile product and customer development, business design the venture can be scaled.
Alongside this journey, different tools are selected, e.g 5Wh, customer journey, big data Analytics, business ecosystem design canvas, Lean Canvas are applied.
Approaches such as Design Thinking, user-driven innovation, lean startup and lean entrepreneurship, corporate venturing, jugaad innovation will be used to work on one real-life business cases. Different excursions complete the module to see how novel design and innovation principles are applied in practice.
