About this minor
In this minor you will work with transition challenges: how can you contribute to these based on your knowledge and skills. You will experiment, learn, and work together in multidisciplinary teams: individually and in a group. By using everyone's own expertise, you can find solutions for complex challenges. Field partners and tutorial team consist of people with different expertise and experience.

- You have learned about disruptive change and transition thinking from a systems perspective.
- Your competencies of analysing, designing, and collaborating in dynamic and multidisciplinary environments have improved.
More about the minor
These are the learning outcomes for this minor:
Learning outcome 1
I analyse challenges from society using knowledge about disruptive change and transitions. I look at these challenges from a societal and organisational perspective and I look at human behaviour, each time focusing on discovering the intent and working of transitions and disruptive change.
Learning outcome 2
I design in a multidisciplinary team a solution to disrupt an existing situation that contributes to a transition challenge, based on an applied research approach. I contribute to the design process and outcome in the multidisciplinary team from my own expertise, experiences, and insights. I integrate the knowledge, experiences, and insights of team members into the prototype.
Learning outcome 3
From my development with respect to the five dimensions of the inner development goals (IDGs), I demonstrate my ability to contribute to transition challenges. I demonstrate this through personal goals, critical reflection and feedback from peers, coaches, and experts. I present and substantiate my vision with respect to transition challenges and how my professional identity fits with this.
