with a common reference framework and shared
understanding of theoretical concepts, cultures,
methods and languages
• Stimulate new ways of design thinking, able to meet
the challenges of designing for 21st century society
• Support leading edge design research that is selfreflective, socially aware, economically enterprising
and internationally significant
DMEM

Focus of Design Performance Cluster
• Design growing in importance to UK companies as
we reposition ourselves in the value stream
• Very little attention has been paid to managing the
performance of the design process
• Different design communities have their own ideas,
approaches, concepts etc.
DMEM
Design, Manufacture & Eng. Management
Focus of Cluster
• The overall aim of the cluster is to provide a platform
to facilitate the sharing, consolidation and promotion
of activities in design performance research and
practice.
DMEM
Design, Manufacture & Eng. Management
Aims & Objectives
• Bring together researchers from diverse
communities who can really lead the field in design
performance at an international level.
• Develop a research agenda, along with priorities and
groupings to take the key research issues forward.
• Start groupings of collaborative activity to tackle key
research issues and form innovative research
partnerships.
• Encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas, concepts,
frameworks and approaches.
• Create a dialogue between designers, artists,
engineers, architects, social scientists, etc.
• Involve industry in these key discussions.
• Disseminate information to the wider community.

Exercises – Research Themes
• Individually write down 5 research questions you
think would be worth asking under the Design
Performance banner
• Can we cluster them?
• Choose to join one group (just for today) and work
together to look at what information we would like to
have that would help us develop a research proposal
in this area

Exercises – Cluster organisation
• How can we keep communication going between
meetings?
• Do you think a summer school is a worthwhile
exercise? If so what should we include?
• Do we have teaching materials that we could share
relating to design performance? If so should we?
And how?
