We need to bring back the “Why?”<BR/><BR/>People Centred Concept Making / participatory design:<BR/><BR/>Creating “for” people becomes creating “with” people; people desire to take part in the design process; innovation is becoming democratised through community led initiatives (on and off line) ….
