This is an elective course for EngD trainees in Designing Human–System Interaction and Automotive Systems Design.
The challenges of today are wicked in nature: we have no upfront idea where the solution might be found. Most of the technology management approaches and methods are not based on this reality of a complex, systemic world, and therefore do not always equip engineers ideally.
To make sense of today’s reality, engineers must take charge. They need to shape the future instead of being swept along by it. This means understanding what innovation truly requires in a world that is constantly shifting and filled with uncertainty. And above all, they must be ready to navigate the rapid disruption driven by exponential technologies. They need to know how to construct business models that matter, using technologies for positive impact. Additional to their technological specialization, engineers need to develop an understanding of, and a competence in, turning the great potential of (exponential) technologies into business models to bring to market.
