Brief Description

Transforming the food system requires more than just passion and intent. You need to move quickly from idea to plan to action—with rigor, empathy, and effectiveness. By embracing a process that calls on collaboration, negotiation, and inquiry with diverse stakeholders, you will learn to act deliberately and listen empathetically as you explore the concept of food experience design. Engaging the hallmarks of design thinking, this short-form, self-directed course will help you apply these tools to your food business. You will explore innovation as a team sport, develop customer empathy, frame your challenge, build creativity and refine your ideas, and craft your pitch. Participants will learn from recorded lectures delivered by an expert in the field and will work through a series of independent targeted activities. You'll have the opportunity to learn from and share ideas with one another, and participate in occasional live huddle sessions with your dedicated course navigator and occasional guest lecturers with expertise in mentoring start-ups at all levels of engagement.
