Previous research has shown that the application of design-led innovation to manufacturing businesses contributed to innovation across their business model, often repositioning the business and its offerings in the market. This article presents findings from a study where the researcher was embedded in an Australian firm, working four days per week for 11 months and using action research to apply design-led innovation. Deep insights from stakeholders were translated with the company staff into new value propositions for the company. This research demonstrates the largely untapped potential of an experienced designer as an innovation catalyst to help firms develop customer-inspired innovation as they use design-led innovation to overcome barriers and recognize opportunities within a changing market context. This study contributes new knowledge regarding benefits of design-led innovation in dynamic environments. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 6 %P 49-58 %8 06/2016 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/997 %N 6 %1 Queensland University of Technology Peter Townson is a Design Facilitator for the PwC Chair in Digital Economy at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia, where he recently completed his Master's degree in design-led innovation. Peter lives the world of design in the nexus between academia and industry. From his background as an industrial designer and manufacturer, his translation of his craft from the physical world and into the service and digital worlds' builds off his post-graduate education and application of design-led innovation. Peter now facilitates innovation sprints that use design-led innovation to envision and design the future of our digital economy, while making his findings relevant to the applied academic audience of today. %2 Queensland University of Technology Judy Matthews is a Senior Lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Business School in Brisbane, Australia, where she teaches both MBAs and senior executives on the topics of innovation management, facilitates problem framing and problem solving in complex environments, and uses design thinking to develop and execute new possibilities.
