Which technology businesses can use design?
How engineering and technology development businesses can benefit from using design principles
Whatever the type of technology development your business is involved in, you will be able to use design principles or work with a designer.
Innovative technology companies such as Rolls Royce, BT and Google put great resources into multi-disciplinary teams, including:
- designers
- engineers
- inventors
- anthropologists
- business managers
- marketing and communication specialists, etc
But it's not just big businesses that understand how design can help them develop new products that use their patented technologies. Researchers and inventors in UK universities, start-up technology companies and small businesses that work on one core technology, have all benefited from commissioning design agencies.
