Learning unit contents
This course puts into practice the key models and techniques used to model how an organization's overall value is created and how to make it more sustainable. It focuses on the organization's strategic planning from the perspective of optimizing its sustainable performance and long-term reliability, and shows which tools and models it can use to ensure that it achieves its goals over the long term.
It covers 3 topics:
- How does an organization create value?
- How is value harvested?
- How can it be controlled and made sustainable over the long term?
Each of the 3 topics is prepared and presented by groups of no more than 4 students.
At the same time, as they progress through the various stages of the course, these groups design, structure and then defend an original entrepreneurial project, structured on the basis of the models seen in the course (Value Proposition Design and Business Model Canvas models, holistic sustainability model) and integrating the basic principles of Frugal Innovation in a circular economy logic.
