Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Creativity tools can help engineers to mobilize all their technical knowledge to find technological solutions, but they cannot engender the exact solution, so we think it is possible to improve designer’s creativity by expanding their access to information. Scanning and monitoring the environment will help engineers to know what is happening outside their enterprise and competitive intelligence will permit proactivity by acting on the environment. Our approach wants to be practical and allows better integrating of creativity’s process in the early phases of the new product design process.
