Course description
Innovation is not a process, nor a product; it is an action and a skill that can be learned and practised. In this course you will learn how to become an innovator from Luis Perez-Breva, innovator and expert in the practice and development of innovation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he directs the flagship programme in applied innovation, the MIT Innovation Teams, a joint programme of the School of Engineering and the School of Business.
Where others confuse entrepreneurship and innovation, warn of the danger of disruption or describe innovators as a kind of supernatural beings, Luis Perez-Breva talks about solving real problems, learning, exploring the seemingly impossible and the possibility of building the world you imagine with the means at your disposal. This course is the result of a decade of experience in both academia and business and presents another way of understanding innovation: without complexes, without jargon, as a discipline in itself, practical and practicable, which defines the explorer of the 21st century.
This first course was to be part of a series of initiatives featuring Professor Perez-Breva at the Rafael del Pino Online School. However, given the exceptional circumstances we are going through, the course will offer an expanded version of his experience and knowledge in this field, both in academia and business, integrating several courses into one, in order to present another way of understanding innovation in a comprehensive way. In addition, this course includes the download of his book "Innovating: A Doer's Manifesto", and the possibility to participate in a project presentation session with Professor Perez-Breva.
