Cash, Philip (author), Daalhuizen, Jaap (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)The increasingly transdisciplinary context of design, where designers collaborate with other disciplinary and domain experts, means there is a growing need to evidence the effectiveness of design methods. We address this need in two ways. First, we propose a ‘chain of evidence’, from motivation to claims, operationalising this in a systematic...journal article 2023
