CALL FOR PAPERS
***** WORKSHOP *****
Designed for Co-designers
http://mlab.taik.fi/co-design-ws
Submission Deadline: August 8th, 2008
In conjunction with PDC 2008: Participatory Design Conference
1-4 Oct. 2008, Bloomington, Indiana university, USA
http://pdc08.informatics.indiana.edu/
------------------------------------------------------- The tradition
of participatory design is to ensure that intended end users are
engaged in the design process and bring with them their tacit and
contextual knowledge to help shape the design towards the most useful
and meaningful solution possible. This process acknowledges the
expertise of users and brings it early in the process. However,
changes in information and communication technology, consumer culture,
communities of interest, manufacturing processes, global economies and
markets have brought new opportunities to the forefront.
The concept of a product being ready and complete and then purchased
by a customer, is no longer the only valid model. Instead, many
companies are creating strategies to create and manage a mode of
continuous user driven innovation and make profit from it through
co-design platforms and collaboration with lead users.
How to design and manage products, services and experiences that are
to be completed and built upon by users or customers? How can we
design for co-designers?
This full day workshop at the Participatory Design Conference 2008
will bring together examples and studies of recent trends in user
generated content, open platforms for exchange of products, ideas and
media, end user customization and other open models for innovation.
We invite case studies, methods, stories and critical analysis on this
topic to generate a deeper understanding of its relevance to
contemporary participatory design. The discussion will focus on
methods, challenges and advantages for intentionally supporting end
user innovation through design.
The workshop areas of interest includes (but are not limited to):
(i) consumer products;
(ii) user generated content and media;
(iii) social innovation in services, practices and processes
This workshop is willing to generate a deeper understanding of this
shift in the design paradigm towards the customer-generated innovations.
