We live in a VUCA ( volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world today. The grand challenges facing humanity are urgent, systemic, complicated and evolving faster than ever before. That is why the World Economic Forum has listed complex problem solving as one of the top ten skills for the 21st century. Complex problem solving requires critical and lateral thinking, reasoning, analysis, interpretation, synthesising information, research skills, reflection, creativity, curiosity, imagination, innovation, perseverance, self-direction, planning, self-discipline, adaptability, initiative, teamwork and collaboration. In this course, you will be exposed to concepts and frameworks associated with grand challenges and problem-solving techniques. Through interactive course materials and weekly workshops, you will learn by doing - look at problems from different perspectives, apply (where possible) solutions to grand challenges in a proper context, and very importantly, learn how to pitch your solutions.
