Frame Innovations

How we frame issues determines how we respond to them. This microcredential introduces you to frame innovation, a leading methodology used to reframe complex issues and create innovative strategies to adapt and thrive.

About this microcredential

This six-week microcredential introduces participants to the frame innovation and co-evolution approach to strategic innovation.

Frame innovation is a ground-breaking approach that is used to unlock intractable issues to help you create and explore innovative approaches to complex problems.

This microcredential will help you identify and draw out the underlying factors of a situation and apply productive and aspirational logic in order to create new and novel approaches. Uniquely, participants will also explore how these approaches co-evolve with an intractable issue through refinement, scaling, or dampening.

With content drawn from the UTS Faculty of Transdisciplinary Innovation’s dynamic Master of Creative Intelligence and Strategic Innovation program, participants in this course will engage with the philosophical underpinnings of frame innovation, including the work of the approach founder and globally recognised design innovator, Professor Kees Dorst.

Additionally, participants will explore global case studies that illustrate the approaches and apply practical tools from the ‘Designing for the Common Good’ approach to intractable societal issues.

Delivered in a series of highly interactive online workshops (meet virtually face-to-face in real time) and supported with online material and activities, this microcredential will provide an invaluable repertoire of practical approaches that can be strategically applied over a wide range of professional contexts.

Key benefits of this microcredential

This microcredential will provide an understanding of practical tools and methodologies to develop impactful approaches to complex, intractable problems and issues - skills that are highly relevant in any professional context or industry.
