Abstract

The case for Responsible Innovation has been well articulated in the areas of science research and
Corporate Social Responsibility in business. This paper presents a case for adopting a design-led
approach in order to promote responsibility in innovation. It uses a case-study review of ten years of
innovation projects to explore the similarities and differences between approaches to Social
Innovation and Commercial Innovation in order explore the values of design-led Responsible
Innovation across these contexts. The research draws upon industry expertise, Masters projects and
theoretical models. In particular it relates the attributes of the design-led approach to the four
dimensions model proposed by Stilgoe et al. [6]. It concludes by proposing a framework that draws
upon notions of Deep Empathy as proposed by Michlewski [3], Dynamic Mapping, Consequence
Visioning and Toggling between micro and macro views.`

Keywords: Responsible innovation, Design-led, Multidisciplinary innovation.
