A new study published by House of Innovation researcher Stefan Haefliger in Industrial and Corporate Change reveals that understanding two distinct aspects of product modularity is key to improving innovation. By treating standardization and reconfigurability as separate dimensions rather than a single concept, the study offers clearer insights into how modular design can boost both creativity and efficiency in product development.

For the past two decades, Design Thinking has been a driving force in business innovation, helping companies improve products and services. Yet, Design Thinking has serious limitations, according to new research by HOI researcher Roberto Verganti, with co-author Elizabeth Bowie Cristoforetti of Harvard, published in The Design Journal. Its extreme and close focus on user needs (or user-ism, sometimes becoming a face-lifted version of consumerism), can lead businesses to overlook broader systemic challenges, from sustainability to social responsibility. The authors argue that design must evolve鈥攎oving beyond being purely reactive to market needs and instead becoming an active shaper of a positive future.
