BUDL2901: The Craft of Collaboration
2026 unit information
Creative ideas are the first spark of innovation. They thrive if groups can harness their diversity of skills, experiences and perspectives as a shared resource. In this unit, we learn how to lead co-creative teamwork. We take inspiration from pioneering changemakers and their new ways of working. Together, we create through hands-on experimentation, exploration, and play. We question assumptions, imagine, design, prototype, and synthesise towards an outcome. Drawing on the latest research, we discuss how to reinvent businesses as collaborative communities and how good relationships are crucial prerequisites for responding entrepreneurially to our fast-changing world. The unit is based on an experiential and self-reflective pedagogy that helps us consciously understand and change our role in co-creative settings.
