Abstract

This paper presents steps towards the construction of a method for the engineering of innovation ensuring both scientific rigor and practical relevance. The resulting new method artifact shall describe the design activities, design outcomes, and the necessary roles for organizations that deliver innovation. An important construct as part of the method is the process model to describe the sequence of the design activities. This paper focusses on the design of this integrated process model to ensure both practice-driven innovation as well as design science research. Its scientific construction is introduced by a reverse engineered Action Design Research approach based on a successful implementation in a university-industry co-innovation lab.
