The research agenda of the Institute for Design Innovation builds on the idea that design contributes to and enables innovation in multiple ways and on various levels. The Institute is currently engaged in and developing further four research areas in the wider design innovation arena, with a focus on the use and application of design knowledge, skills and approaches into varied contexts.

By tightly guarding the alignment of the core leadership team (central command) we have the opportunity to use context and big-picture goals in guiding sub-units, teams and individuals. Staying clear in context is the guiding light for initiative and responsible work – ownership of challenges and creative problem solving.
