second cycle, Master

Graduates are familiar with basic concepts and methods from the subject areas of Systematic Inventive Thinking, Systemic Management and Innovation Management.
They are able to apply specific creative techniques for designing technical systems (e.g. De-sign Thinking, TRIZ, MELT Frame).
In addition, they have a holistic understanding of the subject areas of the program and are therefore able to identify cross-departmental innovation potential.

This course provides students with an overview of the options available when designing new interactive systems or revising existing ones. The focus lies on creative techniques, concepts and methods with which ideas can be generated that enable both more intuitive operation and more innovative use of existing and new interactive systems. In addition, it will be worked out how innovations can be implemented in a practical way from a management perspective. The course content covers the following subject areas in particular:
- Developing a holistic understanding of the topics of systemic management.
- Methods for generating innovative ideas (e.g. Systematic Inventive Thinking, TRIZ, Design Thinking).
- Project structures and management methods for the practical implementation of innovations (e.g. MELT Frame).

The course content enables students to apply creative techniques in a structured way, to gen-erate innovations and to accompany their implementation.
