| Program Description | |
| |
Europe LEAD/PLSC: Leadership by Design takes you on a journey of past design, present creativity, and future innovation, to instill a new conceptualization of leadership. Two hotspots of design serve as our destination for this exploration: Stockholm, Sweden - where design is not a socially or politically neutral activity, but rather creates an aesthetic to enhance community and organization; and Barcelona, Spain - a city bursting with art and culture that offers an inspiring array of innovative approaches modeling design thinking. This program provides you with the theoretical bases and practical experience of design, leadership, creativity = three key foundational elements of innovation. Successful organizations depend on an individual’s ability to creatively see beyond the obvious, collaboratively problem-solve, and create conditions that encourage innovation. You will engage in a variety of experiences during this program, including building your team of innovators and participating in real design projects. Our journey examines the cutting edge of leadership, where creativity and design inform how leaders create cultures and conditions for success.
Sweden has been a long recognized leader in design, with Ikea as a most recognizable brand. We will find out how organizational leaders encourage innovation, and how design is not a socially or politically neutral activity, but rather creates an aesthetic to enhance community and organization. We will also focus on the history of design and design processes across various mediums and fields from landscape and garden to city planning and formal art. How have these environs influenced innovation and leadership through history, and what can we learn from current practices in other fields to inform leadership? We then make our way to another capital of design, Barcelona, Spain. A city bursting with art and culture, Barcelona has an inspiring array of unique design thinkers and approaches as evidenced by the work of modernist architect and naturalist Antonio Gaudí. Students will have an opportunity to visit and critique his work as well as study the art, architecture and landscape of this remarkable city. We will also explore some of the most current design ideas and practices, and the significant implications it holds for effective visual communications and leadership.
Several multi-day exploration periods will be built in to the coursework including side trips to Girona and Figures, Spain, the home of Dali. During this time students will have the opportunity to visit and explore many of the other amazing sites in an around the host cities.
To prepare for this experience, students will participate in at least three on-campus class meetings before departure.
