Course Summary
This online micro credential will begin by discovering the ways that leaders create and innovate products that promote social innovation within companies. Students will develop their understanding about social issues and learn how they have a role to play catalysing positive social change as a changemaker and future leader in the arts sector. Through a case study of an arts organisation in contrast to other industries examples, students can recognise similarities and differences between industry examples of product innovation and social innovation. The micro-credential will dispel the myth that social innovation is solely an objective of entrepreneurial insight and will encourage students to consider social innovation in their own capacity and how they can innovate through the arts sector. Additionally, the micro-credential poses the question: Who is responsible for innovation?
