Gemser, Gerda (author), Calabretta, G. (author), Quint, Eric (author)Little is known about how design leaders foster design excellence “at scale” within large organizations. To bridge this gap, this article reports on interviews with 59 senior design leaders. Using a paradox perspective to frame the findings uncovers major challenges when leading design teams inside large organizations. It also identifies five...journal article 2023

van Boeijen, A.G.C. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)Designers hope that their innovations will be adopted by the people they are designed for. How well their designs align with consumers’ cultural contexts is a key determinant of whether they are accepted or rejected. This is especially<br/>important for food solutions, as eating habits are deeply rooted in local cultures. However, academic...journal article 2023

Boess, S.U. (author)The scaling up of zero energy (ZE) renovations contributes to the energy transition. Yet ZE renovations can be complex and error-prone in both process and outcome. This article draws on theory from sociotechnical design, participatory design, and inclusive design to analyse four recent case studies of ZE renovation/building in the Netherlands....journal article 2022

Schraven, D.F.J. (author), Arghandeh Jouneghani, P. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)Sustainability transitions require that sustainable innovations develop and scale-up. Two promising approaches contribute to this purpose. Design thinking (DT) focuses on the creative development of sustainable innovations to achieve desirable, feasible and viable products. Strategic niche management (SNM) addresses how sustainable...journal article 2021

Thoring, K.C. (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)The term “creative space” describes a relatively recent phenomenon of innovative workplace design. Such creative workspaces are becoming popular in industry and academia. However, the impact of specific spatial design decisions on creativity and innovation is not yet fully understood. This paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art research...review 2020

Klitsie, J.B. (author), Price, R.A. (author), de Lille, C.S.H. (author)Companies are organised to fulfil two distinctive functions: efficient and resilient exploitation of current business and parallel exploration of new possibilities. For the latter,<br/>companies require strong organisational infrastructure such as team compositions and functional structures to ensure exploration remains effective. This paper...conference paper 2019

Klitsie, J.B. (author), Price, R.A. (author), de Lille, C.S.H. (author)In order to become more innovative, corporations are increasingly turning to design-driven innovation capabilities. These capabilities are dynamic: they influence the way companies run their business and how companies create, capture and deliver value. Building design capabilities has proven difficult, given the tacit nature of design practice...conference paper 2018

Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)Even though designers are specifically trained to create and build new products, their contribution to innovation in the food industry is relatively small. The industry seems unfamiliar with the ways in which designers operate and may be unaware of the added value they may provide. Therefore, this article identifies the potential roles that...journal article 2016

Heikkila, M. (author), Bouwman, W.A.G.A. (author), Heikkila, J. (author), Solaimani, S. (author), Janssen, W. (author)Development of successful business models has become a necessity in turbulent business environments, but compared to research on business modeling tools, attention to the role of metrics in designing business models in literature is limited. Building on existing approaches to business models and performance measurement literature, we develop a...journal article 2015

Joore, J.P. (author), Brezet, J.C. (author)Change actors like designers play a strategic role in innovation and transition processes towards a sustainable society. They act at all levels of society and need help to find their way through increasingly interrelated innovation systems. To support their efforts, there is a need for a design supportive model that (1) can provide insight into...journal article 2014

De Lille, C.S.H. (author)An increasing number of Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) starts to realize the opportunities offered by User-centred Design (UCD). The issue is that our understanding of UCD either comes from large companies or is developed in an academic setting, without taking SMEs into account. This research project demonstrates that in order to make...doctoral thesis 2014

Forlati, S. (author)This paper investigates how the format of architectural competitions influences the degree of innovation achievable. Innovation can be defined as a new combination of means and aims. The applicability of the notions concerning innovation developed the management and social disciplines to architecture has received little attention especially for...conference paper 2014

Van Bruinessen, T.M. (author), Smulders, F.E.H.M. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)The research this paper reports on aims to develop a design and engineering strategy for complex ships in between incremental and radical innovation. The majority of European ship-design industry concentrates on the development of complex, one-off ‘specials’ for the offshore industry, like dredgers, drill ships, pipelaying ships, et cetera. This...conference paper 2013

Raisbeck, P. (author)What are the organisational paradoxes that beset the design process in architectural firms? As innovative knowledge workers and system integrators architects are often called upon to produce innovative and custom designed buildings. Architects can be characterized as knowledge intensive professionals who help to lead innovation. However, most of...conference paper 2011

Steen, M.G.D. (author)In human-centred design (HCD), researchers and designers develop products in cooperation with the potential users of these products. They attempt to give users a voice or a role in their projects, with the intention of developing products that match users' needs and preferences. This approach is especially interesting in the information and...doctoral thesis 2008

Carbon, C.C. (author), Michael, L. (author), Leder, H. (author)Consumer product design needs design evaluation for obtaining information about consumers’ preferences and liking to optimize market success. Such evaluations are usually conducted in simple single-shot studies where consumers only once have to evaluate, for instance, the attractiveness of a design. However, innovative designs often break common...journal article 2008
