Shake It Off; Radical Meaning Innovation in Product Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes two techniques aimed at design-driven product innovation. Both techniques focus on providing a different, initially disruptive, perspective form which to approach a design assignment. As a result, sticky meanings and conventions are shaken loose, opening up avenues for considering new meanings that set the stage for design-driven product innovation.. Workshop results suggest that the techniques are effective in this respect; product solutions were original and out of the box and as such were ‘radical’ rather than ‘incremental’.

Innovation is a much-discussed issue in design since it is considered to be a key element in highly competitive markets. Nevertheless, the specific contribution of design and designers in the context of product innovation is insufficiently understood and explored. Mostly, innovation is meant to be the achievement of science and technology, while design as the last element in this chain has the ...
متن کاملTowards Sustainability-driven Innovation through Product-Service Systems
Many current sustainability considerations in industry constrain design space by emphasizing reduced material and energy flows across product life cycles. However, there are also opportunities for sustainability awareness to extend design space and drive innovation. Product-service systems (PSS) in particular can be a vehicle through which sustainability-driven innovation occurs. A framework fo...
