• Course description arrow_forward_ios

  The Graduate Certificate in Creative Intelligence and Strategic Innovation (CISI) is a new type of postgraduate offering in cutting edge thinking and methods designed to fill gaps in professional and education training. It is specifically positioned to transform your professional capacities to develop new ways of responding to the complex, dynamic, open and networked problems you now face in your work.

  The course is anchored around the key concepts of inquiry and creative intelligence, systems thinking, complexity, transdisciplinarity and futuring. You will encounter diverse professional contexts and reflect on, expand and interchange practices. Along the way you will evolve nuanced capabilities in responding to and working with different worldviews while harnessing context specific strategies.

  The CISI course uses the transdisciplinary studio model where you will be immersed in different types of learning activities delivered through a blended learning environment, combining the best of face-to face and online learning.

  The graduate certificate is a unique value add for professional experience and change makers looking for tools, practices and concepts to work at the leading edge.

  If you would like to go deeper, the graduate certificate opens a pathway to a transdisciplinary Master by Research. This is a professionally facing program that takes the tools, thinking and practices you have learnt and embeds them into longer term system change.
