Abstract:
This paper introduces a method that embeds transdisciplinary conversations as structured reflection phases within the Double Diamond process model. Across two case studies, the approach shows how dialogue with diverse experts stimulates creative idea generation and sharpens the understanding of the interrelationships in sustainable systems. In this way, the method supports more well-founded design decisions and creative solutions for sustainability-oriented products.
