Applying Innovation will teach students the application and integration of the tools and techniques of innovation management including; strategic and systems thinking, business process management, creativity and problem solving, solution design and implementation, effective organizational teamwork, leadership, and project management. This seminar style course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to apply the tools of creativity and innovation to solve a real world technological business problem. Applying innovation will enable students in a team approach to actually use the tools in the class and on an industrial project either at their employer (preferably) or an external enterprise. This course will also incorporate both academic scholarly papers that will build on the readings in the APS1012H course. In addition the instructor will provide coaching based on many years of hands on practical experience solving technological problems in a variety of industry sectors. Though not mandatory it would be ideal if students have completed the course APS1012H that provides students with a conceptual understanding of the broad field of strategic innovation.
