Food for Thought: a service based approach to embedding innovationAn exploration into innovation practice in corporate organisations. From a design-led perspective, it looks at how innovation is currently viewed in both design teaching and in business and the benefits of making innovation practice an everyday part of an organisation’s process. To do this, Food For Thought, by Toke Barter and Ré Dubhthaigh, Helen Hamlyn Research Associates 2006, makes the novel an insightful comparison between an in-house innovation support service and the restaurant experience, and how their processes and outputs mirror each other.
