About
Delft Design always starts with asking questions
We conduct research on the organisational networks in business, the public sector and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Working within these networks, we develop design approaches and theories leading to innovation strategies. We observe the behaviour of network participants, and co-create designs and strategies. Our research takes place both in existing networks, and in networks that we build and lead ourselves. The purpose of this research perspective is to support creative innovations that benefit individuals, organisations, and society as a whole.
