Informing Our Intuition: Design Research for Radical Innovation
Radical innovation requires both evidence and intuition: evidence to become informed, and intuition to inspire us in imagining and creating new and better possibilities.
THE TERM ‘RESEARCH’ shows up in the context of design and innovation in multiple guises, not all of them positive. For some people it connotes ‘data collection’ – looking to the past and present but not to the future; for others it’s simply a required step before coming up with ideas; for yet others it’s a filter that rejects promising ideas before they’ve had a chance to evolve.
