STAY RELEVANT
This is your chance to apply your academic expertise to the field of strategic business development with a view to helping companies to stay relevant for their customers and partners.
- A collaboration between Silkeborg Municipality and Aarhus University
Using your academic expertise in practice
You are one of many students from the Faculty of Arts who will be meeting on Monday 11 October and Tuesday 12 October in Aarhus. In partnership with your fellow students, you will be using your academic expertise to find solutions to problems facing a variety of companies.
In Aarhus you and the other participants will be divided into groups of up to five people. On Monday 11 October you will be introduced to a working method called “design thinking” by Lasse Chor from Happy 42 – http://happy42.dk/. After the presentation the cases will be given to the groups, for the preparation to begin. The next day (12 October), you will be taken by coach to Silkeborg, where you will be given the chance to work on a specific problem. Each group will then be asked to pitch their solution.
Taking part in this case competition is a good idea because:
- It will give you the chance to develop your skills in relation to working with design processes
- You’ll get the chance to pitch some good ideas and show potential employers what you can do
- It’s a good platform for using your theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems
- You’ll learn more about business life and gain insight into strategic design thinking
- It will look good on your CV
