Model of Innovation

Successful initiatives are fueled by compelling ideas and ambitious agendas. Guiding our endeavor is a new paradigm of sustainable product development known as Integrated Innovation.

 

At InnovationSpace, transdisciplinary teams of students from industrial design, product design, visual communication design and business systematically work through a matrix of four questions:

  • What is valuable to users?
  • What is possible through engineering?
  • What is desirable to business?
  • What is good for society and the environment?

Using the model of Integrated Innovation, students aim to create products that

  • satisfy user needs and desires;
  • apply innovative but proven engineering standards;
  • create measurable value for business;
  • benefit society while minimizing impacts on the environment.
