Module 1: Identify

To begin, we will gain an overview of the content to be taught throughout this course, becoming familiarized with the methods of MITdesignX, implementing a human-centered approach to complex problem solving, and targeting a need or problem to work on throughout the program.

Module 2: Needs Analysis and Stakeholders

Next, we will understand the need or problem previously identified, understand the stakeholders' position and impact, and assess the scope and urgency of the problem.

Module 3: Envisioning Change and Crafting Solutions

In this module, we will look at how to identify key market segments, envision change, and write an impactful mission and vision statements, thus providing a proactive basis for future work and problem-solving.

In this module, you will learn what a Value Proposition is and how to write one in a clear and concise manner. You will create a Customer Journey Map and understand how to leverage it to enhance the overall customer experience.

Module 5: Create | Prototype solution and business model design

In this module, we will be doing a series of exercises to test and create possible solutions to the need or problem we have identified.

After creating our business model, we will explore the best organizational designs to go further, learn how to design innovative team cultures, and learn how to design and promote a team culture in which there is the possibility of development.

Module 7: Implement | Launching and scaling up the solution

In this module, participants will employ a practical process to test and optimize the adaptation of the problem to the solution to take it further. We will learn how to design a brand in agreement with key team members and market drivers and develop a tactical growth plan by leveraging the power of strategic priorities.

This class was very interesting to me because it forced me to look at products, not only their value to the organization, but the efficiency of that product from a lot of different angles. You can look at it from all the angles taught in the class, or you can look at it from a grouping of those angles. And for me it was a highly valuable. It's much more than just the product lines that we have today in our organization.
