Overview
What you will study
- Across many organizations, research and development departments lead the design and creation of new products and services, but in recent decades, a shift has emerged.
- Rapid innovations in communication, prototyping, and manufacturing technologies mean that in-house product development is no longer enough.
- To bring truly original goods to market, it’s essential to also search for, and leverage, designs developed by lead users—customers with unique product needs who are able to develop innovations of their own.
- In the Powering Product Innovation course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), you’ll acquire the knowledge you need to incorporate the method into your innovation strategy—and use powerful machine learning to identify user innovations at scale.
- You’ll explore core concepts through a series of dynamic lectures, group discussions, and hands-on activities, and emerge from the experience with a roadmap for keeping pace in the ever-evolving design and manufacturing sector.
