Design Innovation for Industry Transformation

As industries navigate rapid technological change, evolving consumer needs, and increasing complexity, design has emerged as a strategic tool—not just for product innovation, but for systemic transformation. This module brings together cutting-edge frameworks, case studies, and applied tools to explore how design thinking, systems design, and human-centered innovation can reshape entire industries.
Spanning topics such as structured innovation processes (e.g., the 7C’s Framework), the integration of AI in creative workflows, gamification, empathy, and strategic design leadership, the sessions are designed for executives and professionals who wish to leverage design not merely as an aesthetic or UX layer, but as a transformative business capability. The programme draws on real-world projects from across sectors—manufacturing, healthcare, mobility, digital services, and public systems—to ground insights in practice.
