Remember
that quote from the renowned Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz that said the
company is the people business serving coffee, and not the other way around?
This point of view absolutely applies to RIT Croatia. Being a student-centric
academic institution, we are fully committed to develop and deliver the best
learning experiences for our students.
Hiring
and collaborating with the best instructors and faculty members is one of the
ways we fulfill that commitment. We are happy to have Velebit Mirić join us
this spring semester as an adjunct faculty that will teach our students the art
of design thinking.
"My ultimate career
goal has always been to teach, and joining RIT Croatia is not only a life-long
achievement, but a dream come true as well. My students can expect a total
human-centric approach to the idea of individual and mutual creativity
manifested in a modern, next-generation hands on approach to acquiring not only
knowledge about the theory, but also instantly developing the skills needed to
apply the knowledge to their lives the very next day”, said Velebit.
Velebit
is RIT’s alum, and has earned his MS degree in the Institute’s Service
Leadership and Innovation. Open-minded, always eager to learn something new,
Velebit is a very versatile person. He is in Management Consulting industry,
owning and managing Innovatio Consilium company for business design and
development. Furthermore, he organizes and coaches Design Thinking and Design
Sprint 2.0 workshops and projects for companies, and has written several
business and academic publications.
Velebit will teach the Design Thinking and Concept Development (BS in International Business program) at RIT Croatia.
