A design-led approach to innovation in aged care

(2016) A design-led approach to innovation in aged care. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research explores the journey of a non-profit organisation seeking to respond to prominent change drivers in aged care through the strategic integration of design. A longitudinal action research project investigated the business models of aged care providers, the viability and capacity of existing aged care business models, and the ways aged care organisations could utilise design to drive innovation and address emerging challenges in practice. The thesis identified a new aged care business model typology, a framework and methods for integrating design in practice, offering new knowledge and approaches for leveraging design to realise social and economic outcomes.
