HOW DO WE INNOVATE THROUGH USES ?

What are the tools and methods to achieve it?

Between the engineer’s good idea and the new product that becomes a success, the practitioner of innovation encounters a territory where the symbolic, cultural, historical, and social dimensions of our relationship with things dominate.

It is only by taking all these dimensions into account early in the design process that the innovation practitioner is able to guide the work of engineers and design teams towards the fulfilment of the promises held out by the technology.
