DBE: Design based methods & tools

Unlike other books on the subject, 101 Design Methods approaches the practice of creating new products, services, and customer experiences as a science, rather than an art, providing a practical set of collaborative tools and methods for planning and defining successful new offerings.

Each of the 200 methods has a condensed one page step-by-step instructions for easy reading. Included are templates, descriptions of each method, instructions on when,where and why to use each method, resources needed and references.

The two volumes in this series outline the design methodologies presented in a series of successful international workshops by Rob Curedale based on the methods of the world's most innovative organizations. The author Robert Curedale focuses the experiences of decades of tacit knowledge from managing design for some of the world's leading design brands and design consultancies and teaching at influential design schools and universities in Asia, Australia, Europe, Detroit, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.

This comprehensive reference provides a thorough and critical presentation of 100 research methods, synthesis/analysis techniques, and research deliverables for human centered design, delivered in a concise and accessible format perfect for designers, educators, and students. Whether research is already an integral part of a practice or curriculum, Universal Methods of Design serves as an invaluable compendium of methods that can be easily referenced and utilized by cross-disciplinary teams in nearly any design project.

The book focuses on service organizations, but has a broad interpretation of what services are. Directed to the business world and combines inspirational text that is full of examples, with the features of a useful handbook of practical methods with associated templates. The central argument is that managers and entrepreneurs designing service offerings will benefit from using approaches and methods from design and the arts, especially at the early stages of projects. Sometimes called "design thinking" or "design innovation", such approaches help organizations explore and create new configurations of people and things that support users, customers, staff and partners in creating value together
