Knowledge and understanding (DdD1)
The course provides advanced knowledge of models and tools for sustainability-oriented management, focusing on shared value, social innovation, and impact measurement. Students will become familiar with hybrid public-private partnerships and sustainability frameworks (SDGs, ESG), using real-world cases and emerging practices from various institutional settings.

Applying knowledge and understanding (DdD2)
Students apply the theoretical tools acquired through a project-based learning process called the Impact Challenge. The work includes the design of a Theory of Change, selection of impact metrics (including SROI), data collection and analysis, and the formulation of actionable recommendations. The course enhances problem-solving skills and the ability to design strategies for sustainable innovation.

Making judgements (DdD3)
Through discussion, case analysis and structured feedback, students are encouraged to critically assess strategic options, evaluate sustainability practices, and formulate evidence-based solutions in complex and multi-stakeholder environments. Real-life case studies from business, social enterprises, and public organizations support the development of critical thinking.

Communication skills (DdD4)
Students will improve their oral and written communication skills through project presentations and discussions. The course promotes active participation and peer-to-peer dialogue, with an emphasis on clarity, conciseness, and the ability to communicate with diverse audiences using narrative and visual tools.

Learning skills (DdD5)
The course promotes autonomous learning through readings, case studies, collaborative work, and peer review. Students are encouraged to build a personal learning path by exploring real-world cases, international policy frameworks, and critical reflections on managerial practices. The aim is to enable lifelong learning and critical engagement with sustainability and innovation.
