Adaptable mindset

Visual to show that this course helps to improve transversal skills by covering Data science.

Course overview

This course will empower you to find your own way in this increasingly complex world. A world that is changing rapidly; new technologies and new realities are arising every few months. Education has difficulty keeping up, and businesses fail to adapt. In order to adapt to this ever-changing world, you need to develop your own mindset and tools to help yourself and others. Developing your own (adaptable) mindset will allow you to embrace and deal with change much more effectively in both your personal and professional life.

Course content

Module 1: Exploration
In this module, we will present you with activities and examples that will allow you to expand your perception of the world and be open to new possibilities. The explorative mindset is an essential element of creativity, innovation, design and art. If you want to create solutions that will disrupt and transform your field, you need to nurture this mindset.

Module 2: Perspectives
This module is about embracing diverse perspectives, provoking thought, and thinking critically. If the module on exploration was about nurturing openness and curiosity, this one is about questioning. The purpose of this module is to develop a mindset of considering multiple perspectives when exploring a topic on which you would like to create innovation.

Module 3: Reflection
This module is about building capacity to process information, to synthesise and connect with your personal values, passion and needs. The process of reflection supports you to integrate all of the ideas, possibilities and perspectives you have been exploring. This process allows you to come up with unique new ideas, identify opportunities that you might have not noticed before and discover the essence (for yourself) of all the information that we are constantly flooded with.
