(SCTP) Programme in Design Innovation (Classroom & Asynchronous e-Learning)
The (SCTP) Programme in Design Innovation held over three to four months is based on the Company Applied Research Design Studio (CARDS), an applied learning and research module established to investigate specific issues in a company and train individual participants in design innovation skills. During CARDS, companies send teams of individuals to address early-stage challenges, including a complex balance of user desirability, business feasibility, and technical feasibility.
The company sponsors these problem areas with slightly defined problem areas. The problem areas are then analysed to reach more accurately defined problem questions. These issues are addressed during the programme. This method aims to avoid constant traps in predefined solutions looking for undefined problems. In this course, solutions are often omni-channel, multi-layered. The solution focuses on the cyclical experience of stakeholders, users, or customers. These applicable solutions include, but are not limited to, business models, immersive spatial environments, and digital interfaces. Through multiple consultations with various experts, the innovation project team triangulates a set of solutions. This programme is cross-industry and applies if there is an interface between people and organizations. Because the program is based on the principles of design thinking and innovation, the CARDS programme provides a studio environment for identifying challenges in each industry. In short, CARDS is associated with all service-based sectors.
This programme equips mid-career individuals, including those employed, to transition their careers in all sectors.
This course is offered under the SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme.
