Against a backdrop of rapid industrial change where digital transformation, sustainability policies, and cross-disciplinary collaboration have become the norm design is no longer merely an embellishment of appearance or experience, but a core engine driving industrial innovation. This book focuses on a central question: how can design innovation tangibly advance industrial innovation in an era of uncertainty? Chapter 1 traces the evolution of design methods worldwide through trend analysis. Chapter 2, drawing on the Taiwan Design Research Institute’s “design-driven industrial innovation” model and real collaboration cases, explains how to select appropriate user-centered research methods that balance theoretical depth with practical validation. We hope this book helps designers master the real-world application of these methods and cross-sector communication, while also enabling industry to understand design innovation as a strategic tool for addressing transformation challenges.
