Suzanne Gibbs Howard, dean at IDEO U, says her university’s imperative is teaching creativity and problem-solving. She laid out their belief that in a world of constant change, those who are best equipped are those who generate new ideas when the path is unclear. To scale this capability, IDEO formed IDEO U and developed the capability to teach these skills online.
Howard made the case that teaching creativity is not a linear activity, and referenced IDEO U’s “creative confidence pedagogy” that represents their approach to teaching, which includes see, try, share and reflect.
