IIRI DESIGN LAB promotes design managements.According to our survey of companies in Iwate prefecture, few companies are committed design management. We practiced two approaches with companies as a methods of introducing design management. Co-creation with design personnel (external approach). Utilization of design thinking (internal approach). We have verified that both approaches are valid. We will accumulate and verify research results to create a support program for design innovation of companies.
