In which, they are exposed for the first time to product strategy development aimed at meeting consumer expectations, whilst at the same time achieving corporate objectives. Delivered content such as intellectual property, market opportunities, competitor analysis and investor requirements are taught within the thirteen week semester timeframe. New product development theory is not a new field. However, the design approach to teaching this theory and more importantly how designers can use it in the design process is novel. This paper provides an overview of the curriculum design of this unit as well as its incremental development over the past four year duration period. Student project outcomes and more importantly the process and tools from this unit are also discussed and presented.

Sustaining social innovation enterprises through a design led innovation framework

As such, it is increasingly recognised that engaging Australians in environmentally sustainable practices and behaviours is central to reducing greenhouse gas emissions for a sustainable future. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for engaging people in environmentally sustainable everyday behaviours using interactive Virtual Reality (VR). First, it provides a framework through which to understand the elements necessary for the long-term uptake of environmentally sustainable behaviours. It then considers how an active participatory engagement model is suited to addressing these issues. Finally, it articulates the approach required by facilitators as well as the role of VR in facilitating communication about environmentally sustainable behaviour change between people in small group settings.

Capturing Australian Indigenous Perceptions of the Landscape Using a Virtual Environment

The authors of this paper argue that a more “disruptive” form of innovation is needed to bring about significant and systemic change within the sector. Critical to this transition is the development of new behaviours and values. In particular, built environment professionals need to become active change agents in cultivating these new behaviours and values through the development of collaborative visions, scenarios, practices, and ideas. This paper identifies and discusses the critical role that design (in its broadest sense) can play in this process. Drawing on a comprehensive review of literature, the authors highlight a number of transformational opportunities for cross professional learning and sharing between design and built environment disciplines in achieving environmental innovation (eco-innovation). The paper also considers several design-based co...

MMD was developed to expand current distraction tools and technology available for pain management in the pediatric population. This paper will examine how the challenges faced by VR have motivated the collaborative design and development process of MMD. It will then outline the continuous clinical trialling being undertaken to ensure its efficacy in managing childhood procedural anxiety and pain.
Design-led innovation: overcoming challenges to designing competitiveness to succeed in high cost environments

This chapter is targeted toward businesses that may have been exposed to the concept of design previously at a product level and now seek to better understand its value through implementation at a strategic level offering. The deci-sion to engage in the DLI process is made by firms who want to remain competitive as they struggle to compete in high cost environments, such as the state of the Australian economy at present. The results presented in this chapter outline the challenges in the adoption of the DLI process and the implications it can have. An understanding of the value of DLI in practice—as an enabler of business transformation in Australia—is of benefit to government and the broader design community.

These include art and design programs within men and women's prisons, three large hospitals and a program of university art and design education to homeless and marginalised groups in Brisbane, Australia. The programs and studies drew on understandings of Bourdieu's (1996) notions of Social and Cultural Capital. The various art experiences helped shape the design of the immediate environment as well as the experiences of the students. The ...
