Abstract
This article proposes the basic outline of a tool to provide a consistent basis for successful innovation in co-design. Forms of interaction are currently affected by technology, meaning a great array of collaboration and innovation pathways. To achieve desired outcomes, project outline process can include steps to devise the appropriate strategy. Definitions and main concepts of innovation and collective interactions are transformed into stages to adequately evaluate the appropriate approach, partners and concepts in defining the innovation pathway. Essentially open while sustained by academic research, classification and theoretical concepts by OECD, Verganti and Pisano, Krippendorff and Dewey, we propose a process tool in three phases (Requirements and Partnership Strategy, Innovation Sources and Resources and Conceptual Design Approach) to methodologically assist in project scoping and assess the most appropriate ‘co-design innovation strategy’.

Design Wizard: Tools to Accelerate the Outline of Innovation Process Regarding Co-Design Structure and Project Scope
This article proposes the basic outline of a tool to provide a consistent basis for successful innovation in co-design. Forms of interaction are currently affected by technology, meaning a great array of collaboration and innovation pathways. To achieve desired outcomes, project outline process can include steps to devise the appropriate strategy. Definitions and main concepts of innovation and collective interactions are transformed into stages to adequately evaluate the appropriate approach, partners and concepts in defining the innovation pathway. Essentially open while sustained by academic research, classification and theoretical concepts by OECD, Verganti and Pisano, Krippendorff and Dewey, we propose a process tool in three phases (Requirements and Partnership Strategy, Innovation Sources and Resources and Conceptual Design Approach) to methodologically assist in project scoping and assess the most appropriate ‘co-design innovation strategy’.
