• Strategic Creativity Series 04 Susana Cámara Leret Designing with young addicts and healthcare professionals in a rehabilitation clinic requires a deep understanding of the everyday situations they face, especially when the anticipated designs aim beyond the mundane at more speculative and uncharted territories. This publication brings together a wide range of perspectives of that journey, with stories about how the design of a set of smells influenced the youths’ treatment and how the design of fictional ‘companion species’ allow people at the clinic to see and discuss their daily environment in new ways.

• Job Stress: From taboo to business Van de Garde, E., Thompson, M., Geurts, L., Ullerup, H. & Perez, M. Workshop for Service Design Network Conference 2011 in San Francisco, October 2011. Download
• User acceptance in a changing context: why some product-service systems do not suffer acceptance. Schotman, H. and Ludden, G.D.S. Various measures are put forward to improve acceptance, but not all measures focus on changing user habits. This paper argues that PSSs can be more powerful in gaining user acceptance when they are designed to address lost habits, owing to unwillingly changed behaviour. Download
• Making Research Tangible Rygh, K., Raijmakers, B., Arets D. Together with the partner company Canon Océ, Rygh has investigated what role the creative industries can play in determining new applications of Canon’s innovative 2.5D printing technology, and what new applications could be found in the field of architecture. As an outcome, Rygh created the Super-Maker, a workshop methodology bridging the innovation gap between new technology and client or end user operating it.  Download

• The in-between: an experimental venture into the position of the designer Camara Leret, S.; Raijmakers, B. Increasing interdisciplinary collaborations between art, design and science, draw  attention to the need of elucidating the position of the designer. Such stance is hereby identified as an in-between position, characterised by its exploratory nature, which contributes to the experimental practice of design as a whole. This interstitial position for design, is furthermore identified as an empowering one, which can open up doors to novel opportunities and outcomes, by enabling designers to engage within the processes that construct meaning.  Download
• Getting a GRIP on Work Related Stress: Design & Evaluation of a Nature Inspired Relaxation Space Van de Garde Perik, E, Trevia, F., Henriksson, A., Geurts, L., Ullerup, H. The paper presents the design rationale and subsequent evaluation of the relaxation space 1.0. Experts with backgrounds in design, research and healthcare have evaluated the design of the relaxation space, which resulted in very positive responses regarding the low effort required and the high quality of the relaxation experience provided by the design.

• Tools for proximity: helping designers to make sense in the boardroom Leurs, B. The thesis "Tools for Proximity" presents a toolkit that supports the interaction between strategic designers and senior decision makers; it aims to establish cognitive proximity (i.e. shared understanding, overlap in mental models) between these actors in networked innovation.
