Co-design versus User Centred Design: Framing the differences
No full textIt is a fact that design research, as a way of interpreting and producing knowledge on the reality, has enhanced, in the last decades, by applying a certain range of tools and practices (from users studies to prototyping from evaluating to redesigning) that currently are recognised under the umbrella of co-design. Forcing the vision, co-design is today understood and applied as the transversal approach to lead User Centred Design research into different design domains of application (from user driven projects conducted by design firms to open innovation projects leaded by companies that want to collaborate with their users in innovation generation) . As a consequence a general misunderstanding is emerging between the notion of co-design and that of User Centred Design (UCD) (Norman and Draper, 1986) such as any difference would exist between them.
Few works (Cautela, Rizzo, Zurlo, 2009; Marti and Bannon, 2009) attempt to confront these two areas of knowledge: the present one discusses the differences between them starting from the hypothesis that: UCD is a precise design method whose application conducts designers to develop usable design solutions for end users; co-design, as it is currently described in many design research contributions, is a set of creative techniques whose aim is to inspire the design process. Creative exercises are usually applied to enhance idea generation and concept design, they are characterised for the presence of non-designers (end users but not only) as participants and leaded by designers

Design and Organizational Change in the Public Sector
No full textThe demand of a new generation of public services is leading to a systematic exploration of what design can do for public organisations. If the rapid growth of service design practices spread the idea that design is not just focused on tangible artefacts, the effects of their introduction in public organisations are still underestimated. This article explores the ongoing trend of the adoption of design as a practice to deal with the innovation of public services through the discussion of three cases, in the light of the hypothesis that the introduction of design knowledge in public institutions should be reconnected to the management of their organisational changes. In particular in the analysis of the cases the authors discuss evidences in favour of a new interpretative framework in which the design of new artefacts (service, processes and solutions) can be described as a powerful yet implicit agent of change
