  Learning outcomes of the course

  Customer-focused design thinking approach allows rethinking products, services, business models and economic systems. It can help companies reach more value from the energy and resources they use. Service design and co-creation is central to a well-functioning circular economy. Existing services can be refined and completely new solutions can be created that can revolutionize the system itself (e.g. renting a coach, from owning to renting a car, etc.).
  
  With circular economy design, economic growth can be decoupled from the resource consumption by promoting innovation, smart design and co-design, knowledge sharing, cooperation and collaboration. In a co-creation process, the mutual value is “created with stakeholders. The needs, objectives and activities are negotiated together with different stakeholders. The process takes into consideration the real needs of the target groups in order to create sustainable innovations.
  
  Module 3 will provide a theoretical framework for service design in the context of circular economy. Service design thinking is central in developing sustainable and attractive business models. Therefore, this module will be implemented hand-in-hand with the Module 2 in order to achieve the highest synergy.

  Teaching methods

  Futudemy Hackathon breaks silos between industries, business, design and technology to teach innovation and use of data, smart technologies and APIs as key ingredients to innovate better experiences and solutions to business and societal problems. This course is suitable for all bachelor's programs.
  
  All industries, even the most traditional and human-centric are becoming more data- and digitally driven, while professionals from silos need to be able to work together to solve new problems, often with new technology and data that they’ve never even heard of.
  - Business professionals need more understanding on digital and data solutions and business models.
  - IT professionals need more experience on how to solve business problems with data and technology.
  - Service designers need to include data, AI-based solutions, automation and even smart devices from washing machines to smart buildings to the customer journeys.
  - Industry specialists from hospitality, security, nursing, and others need to be involved in the development of their industry, customer experience and practices.
  
  This course is based on Futudemy, a unique idea development concept created by Osaango Oy. The hackathon-style course features 4 x 2h Futudemy sessions, where you’ll generate new business ideas based on data and APIs (application programming interfaces, essential to using data and smart technologies) together with other students, partners and mentors, such as Cisco.
  Outside of the sessions you will have time to develop the ideas further while learning how to combine service design and business ideas with data, APIs and technology.
  
  The data-driven business ideas can fit into any of the following themes: Healthcare & Social services, Security and risk management solutions, Experiences design, Information technology and cyber security or Legal design.

  This course is based on Futudemy, a unique idea development concept created by Osaango Oy. The course features 4 x 2h Futudemy sessions, where you’ll generate new service ideas. Even if you have no prior experience, you will l earn how to make your idea “smarter” by using data and a technology called APIs (application programming interfaces) which is essential to using data and smart technologies. Learn more about APIs: https://youtu.be/cAC66ZkYb3M
  
  Everyone needs to actively work on their idea, but you will innovate together with other students, partners and mentors, such as Cisco and Osaango. You will need a few hours outside of the joint session to develop the ideas further.

  This course is suitable for all bachelor's programs. In t his course we will practice digital service design skills with real cases using data and smart technologies. All industries, even the most traditional and human-centric are becoming more data- and digitally driven. You need to be able to work together with people with different skills to solve new problems.
  - Service designers can create better services, if they know how to include data, AI-based solutions and automation to customer journeys.
  - IT professionals need more experience on how to solve business problems with data and technology.
  
  This course is based on Futudemy, a unique idea development concept created by Osaango Oy. The course features 4 x 2h Futudemy sessions, where you’ll generate new service ideas. Even if you have no prior experience, you will l earn how to make your idea “smarter” by using data and a technology called APIs (application programming interfaces) which is essential to using data and smart technologies. Learn more about APIs: https://youtu.be/cAC66ZkYb3M
  
  Everyone needs to actively work on their idea, but you will innovate together with other students, partners and mentors, such as Cisco and Osaango. You will need a few hours outside of the joint session to develop the ideas further.

  - Service designers can create better services, if they know how to include data, AI-based solutions and automation to customer journeys.
  - IT professionals need more experience on how to solve business problems with data and technology.
  
  This course is based on Futudemy, a unique idea development concept created by Osaango Oy. The course features 4 x 2h Futudemy sessions, where you’ll generate new service ideas. Even if you have no prior experience, you will l earn how to make your idea “smarter” by using data and a technology called APIs (application programming interfaces) which is essential to using data and smart technologies. Learn more about APIs: https://youtu.be/cAC66ZkYb3M
  
  Everyone needs to actively work on their idea, but you will innovate together with other students, partners and mentors, such as Cisco and Osaango. You will need a few hours outside of the joint session to develop the ideas further.
