Abstract

Key terms: Business models, cultural change, disruption, evolution, lean methods

Objective

Module 5 focuses on cultural change, innovation, disruption or evolution? In this last model, we learn to question and discover what the 17 Sustainable Goals mean for our industry.

Content

As a final module, new business models are discussed and explored. Examples will be used to explore patterns and interfaces and to analyse what is needed today and in the future for a successful and sustainable development of the sector. How can innovative ideas move us forward? What can we learn from design thinking? Why is it important for people to have useful and understandable measurable values? How do the 17 Sustainable Goals influence our industry? We will analyse the topic on the basis of two concrete examples, familiarise ourselves with them and observe their further development as a result.
