2022: Journey Map your HDR with the Research Canvas (Face to Face @ The Incubator)
| Description: | The EXPANSIVITY program delivered by the MQ Incubator multiplies the way you can journey through your HDR by using a creative research lens. It enables you to approach your graduate research journey in a more powerful way, developing the 7 mindsets and 4 core abilities of creative thinking. Through immersive learning techniques you gain practical experience using a Design Thinking and entrepreneurial approach of emotional intelligence, problem-solving, prototyping, iteration, reflection, and reflexivity, applying this to your own research project and support network. Tools, concepts and strategies used in this program are transferable beyond graduation, complementing the analytical thinking typically emphasized throughout the graduate research journey and offering you well-developed soft skills that are in line with the World Economic Forum's 'Top Skills for 2025'.
Course 2: Journey Map your HDR with the Research Canvas Just over a decade ago, a PhD student developed a business model ontology in his dissertation and later used it as the basis for changing the business world forever. Osterwalder’s Business Model Canvas became a strategic tool to describe how a business creates, delivers, and captures value – all on a single page! In this course, you’ll learn how you can apply this technique to map out your own research. You’ll develop a succinct summary of what you hope or plan to do in your HDR journey, identifying the areas you need to concentrate on most. You’ll also learn the Design Thinkers concept of iteration and how it can help get the most out of your project. You’ll walk away with a new wall hanging for your room; a placemat for your dining table; a discussion tool for your Supervisory panel that shows your logic and helps steer your next 1on1. What are the requirements for this Face to Face course?
No experience in Design Thinking is necessary!
This format of this full-day face to face course will be suited to those that want to really get to know others, see people in the flesh, use lots of stickynotes and Sharpies, enjoy the atmosphere of a startup hub, and have a fully immersive experience. Though the tools be old-skool, we show you how to get the most out of them because we know creativity is catalysed through pen-to-paper techniques. We create a safe space for introverts and extroverts to work together.
Lunch is provided for the full-day event, and there is the option to stay for a drink after the workshop.
