This chapter discusses how design practices generate the fundamental knowledge of knowing why, essential for innovation in the real world. It illustrates the importance of knowing why in uncertain and ambiguous situations and the conditions of innovation. We show that design practices, such as need-finding and prototyping generate knowing why. This knowledge is inherent in action and practice and generates a challenge for an observer when researching innovation performance. Knowing why and knowing how are not in the observer’s knowledge domain. Therefore, we emphasize that a productive science is required to produce the combination of knowing why, knowing how, and knowing that to understand and create innovation.

Abstract:

A key challenge in innovation creation is the rapid generation of new, relevant knowledge. This chapter discusses how design practices generate the fundamental knowledge of knowing why, essential for innovation in the real world. It illustrates the importance of knowing why in uncertain and ambiguous situations and the conditions of innovation. We show that design practices, such as need-finding and prototyping generate knowing why. This knowledge is inherent in action and practice and generates a challenge for an observer when researching innovation performance. Knowing why and knowing how are not in the observer’s knowledge domain. Therefore, we emphasize that a productive science is required to produce the combination of knowing why, knowing how, and knowing that to understand and create innovation.
