conversations.value: Since its initial publication in 1970, Design Methods has beenconsidered the seminal work on design methodology. Written by oneof the founders of the design methods movement, it has been highlypraised in international journals and has been translated intoJapanese, Romanian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. As the author statesin the preface: "Alongside the old idea of design as the drawing ofobjects that are then to be built or manufactured there are manynew ideas of what it is, all very different:

  The Entities Position Map is a method for analyzing how entities group together in relation to two intersecting attribute scales. Each entity is plotted within the boundaries of the position map. The method helps illuminate not just where entities fall within this defined space, but their relative position to one another. Once entities have been plotted, mainly five kinds of analysis could be performed.
  Most commonly analyzed entities are products, services, technologies, users, activities, places, innovation cases, brands, and organizations.
  Select two attributes related to the entities that you think would be most useful for analysis. For example, for a study on cars you might choose "size" and "usage" as attributes. Turn these attributes into scales, for example, "small versus large" and "utility versus indulgence." Create a position map using these two scales.
  First find those entities that are likely to occupy the most extreme corners of the position map and plot them. These entities, therefore, set the boundary conditions for the context. Place the remaining entities onto the position map. The resulting constellation becomes the basis for analysis.
  Extreme analysis: Study the entities positioned at the extreme edges and corners of the map. Look for any patterns and search for insights.

conversations.value: Find or build a physical or virtual environment where participants can engage freely in the activity and exhibit the key behaviors you seek to understand. Use props to represent your concepts and to support participants' interactions with them.
  Invite participants to the simulation, determine if you want them to engage individually or in groups, and guide them through interacting with the environment.
  Observe participants engaged in the activity. Note the physical, cognitive, social, cultural, and emotional factors that affect participants' engagement. Record their behaviors with video and note taking. Conduct a post-activity interview with participants to clarify questions you may have about why they chose to act in a certain way or how they felt about certain aspects of the situation.
  Gather observations from video or notes, and analyze them for patterns of behavior. Review the findings in light of your concept. Consider adjustments to your concepts that encourage or support certain kinds of behaviors. Then, repeat the steps above until key user behaviors are supported well by your concepts.

conversations.value: Think about various presentation formats for your different audiences. Will the content be presented through factual data, illustrations, visualizations, stories, or expressions that appeal to emotions? In most cases, it will consist of a combination of formats. Select modes of delivery that help emphasize points that matter most to the particular audience. For example, quantitative points of reference may give a finance-minded audience a sense of comfort and readiness to engage with your message.
  Discuss the role a particular audience plays in the implementation. Identify what matters to that audience, and determine how you will engage them in your communications. Based on this understanding, review all your findings from the whole innovation process and extract the key pieces that communicate best to the audience. Compile all these pieces into an effective communication document or presentation for delivery.
  Review the communication documents and presentations. Test them with audience representatives, obtain feedback, and refine. Based on the feedback, deliver the Innovation Brief as a compelling communication experience.
  Although the technology boom influenced significant growth of the middle class in India, a good healthcare system is still inaccessible to many. By examining India's healthcare system and the competencies of a technology company, a team of IIT Institute of Design students developed a strategic communications plan to show how the company could enter India's healthcare industry using their proposed solutions and improve healthcare access and meet the needs of India's urban poor. The plan integrated the roles, needs, and challenges of all stakeholders (e.g., the technology company, state government, local communities) required to build an infrastructure for a sustainable national healthcare system.
  Solutions were presented using the Innovation Brief method. The team prepared a short executive summary intended for the company leaders, a report for anyone to know about the project details, and a presentation to communicate the ideas to the stakeholders. A key part of the communication was a strategy framework made of three phases: empower, connect, and extend. In the empower phase, the plan expressed the goal of building partnerships with private sector and community-based organizations, such as private hospitals, NGOs, and health guides. Innovations would focus on implementing electronic medical records and tools for collecting, tracking, and transmitting information from health guides to private hospitals. The connect phase focused on bridging the gap between private and public hospitals and supporting them through training services and involving state government in self-sustaining communities. The final extend phase introduced a nationwide plan that would provide analytic tools to government officials to develop standards and regulations and implement information management solutions across the healthcare industry.
