An introduction to iterative and revolutionary approaches to design innovation.

Course overview
This course explores the new thinking needed to achieve step-change innovation. The Disruptive Market Innovation Through Design course is split into two different stages:
1. Evolutionary stage
Participants will consider the role of iteration in product design.
2. Revolutionary stage
Participants will approach the product from an entirely new perspective.
A key outcome at the end of the course is that participants will compare and reflect on the two approaches.

Through a mix of seminars and hands-on experience you will learn to:
- objectively analyse the features and benefits of a product
- create ideas that evolve products, taking them an iterative step forward
- understand the need for step-change innovation
- use extreme idea-generation techniques, such as idea mapping, analysis and identification
- use sketch modelling and presentation skills
- deepen confidence in step-change innovation techniques.
