This book introduces the concept of worth for design teams, relates
it to experiences and outcomes, and describes how to focus on worth
when researching and expressing design opportunities for generous
worth. Truly interdisciplinary teams also need an appropriate
common language, which was developed in the companion book
Worth-Focused Design, Book 1: Balance, Integration, and Generosity
(Cockton, 2020a). Its new lexicon for design progressions enables a
framework for design and evaluation that works well with a worth
focus. Design now has different meanings based upon the approach of
different disciplinary practices. For some, it is the creation of
value. For others, it is the conception and creation of artefacts.
For still others, it is fitting things to people (beneficiaries).
While each of these design foci has merits, there are risks in not
having an appropriate balance across professions that claim the
centre of design for their discipline and marginalise others.
Generosity is key to the best creative design-delivering unexpected
worth beyond documented needs, wants, or pain points. Truly
interdisciplinary design must also balance and integrate approaches
across several communities of practice, which is made easier by
common ground. Worth provides a productive focus for this common
ground and is symbiotic with balanced, integrated, and generous
(BIG) practices. Practices associated with balance and integration
for worth-focused generosity are illustrated in several case
studies that have used approaches in this book, complementing them
with additional practices.
