GSQ011 Trust & the Future Enterprise

This unit explores trust as a foundational capability for building innovative and forward-looking enterprises. It examines how trust is designed, operationalised and strategically leveraged. Through the lens of a real-world case study, students will get to know and apply the elements of the trust equation - uncertainty, vulnerability, confidence and benevolence. Students will explore the interrelationship between trust and explainability, responsibility and sustainability before capitalising on trust to design data-centric, autonomous, algorithmic enterprises. By engaging in applied analysis, presentation, and justified recommendations, develop capabilities in systems thinking, digital responsibility, and opportunity recognition. The unit equips students with the knowledge and skills to leverage trust as a new source of competitive advantage in complex and evolving environments. This will lead to increased trust and future literacy, a distinct competence of growing importance.
