Abstract

In a time when "design power" is regarded as the core competitiveness of the country's future development, the Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI), established in 2020, aims to introduce design thinking into government departments, integrate government resources across ministries with design, and create leading design enterprises in Taiwan. However, this national cross-disciplinary design strategy requires the cultivation and participation of "cross-disciplinary designers" and "co-creation talents" to achieve its effective drive and sustainable implementation. With this background, our team will further review the method of "Design Thinking for Co-creation" by taking into account the 40 design thinking research workshops conducted since 2019 and the ability to bring design power into different industry categories to implement co-creation. We hope to establish a "cross-disciplinary co-creation talent cultivation mechanism" to empower design talents and industry professionals to become cross-disciplinary co-creators with deep insight and foresight, to implement design-driven industrial transformation, and to promote a sustainable ecosystem of design-driven national industrial innovation capacity.
