Design innovation is a highly collaborative field, and youll stretch that skill in cross-cultural and interdisciplinary project work. Learn from leading academics, influential thought leaders and creative innovators, with guest lectures from partners like Snook, Design Thinkers Academy, Citizens UK, Doughnut Economics Action Lab and many others.
