How can we develop and implement innovative ideas? To do this, each of us must acquire the "ability to conceive" and "ability to collaborate," develop our own "methodology for originality and co-creation," and actually "try out" these methods.
In the first half of this class, students will learn both "the art of thinking of ideas" and "the art of collaboration" based on several issues (future themes). Then, in the middle to the second half of the class, we plan to take on the challenge of developing and implementing future products and building sustainable business models, with the city of Fujiyoshida in Yamanashi Prefecture in mind. Our goal is to go beyond the acquisition of transient skills and frameworks, and to "make the body of ideas", "nurture the soil of creativity", and "create future business models".
