After completion of the course, students are expected to become change-makers and to understand and be able to use several very practical methods to manage innovative projects within a company or organization and/or to pursue their own intra/entrepreneurial endeavors following new approaches. 

 

This subject is derived from the idea that the world is changing in a fast path and new methods originated in the entrepreneurial arena in the last decade can be extremely useful for our future leaders no matter whether they will be in the position of managers or intrapreneurs. We aim to provide tools to leaders that can shape our future. These methods facilitate a better understanding of the users and an ability to rapidly adapt any theoretical project to realistic metrics. 

 

The goal of this course is to learn while developing a real project that complies with the needs of today’s society by working on multidisciplinary teams. This practical course will follow loosely the “lean startup” method with additionally selected course-related content.

 

The course consists of several parts: creative (design) thinking to look for ideas, re-shaping of ideas for them to become project proposals, value proposition, experiment design, prototyping, and use of tools and methodologies such as business model canvas and lean start-up. The course will emphasize the practical side of the tools and will introduce related key concepts on the innovation / intra / social/entrepreneurial ecosystems with a particular focus on Spain and the opportunities related to EELISA universities. Participants will learn how to prototype using different tools. 

 

Furthermore, the course will provide the opportunity for each team to work with an experienced mentor. Participants will also have access to exclusive related events, where they can meet and learn from successful change-makers from multiple industries and fields.

 

During the course, students will teamwork on a practical project of their own that will be presented, discussed, and evaluated in a final pitch session.
