tFocus of Design Performance Cluster
• Design growing in importance to UK companies as we reposition ourselves in the value stream
• Very little attention has been paid to managing the performance of the design process
• Different design communities have their own ideas, approaches, concepts etc.

tAims & Objectives
• Bring together researchers from diverse communities who can really lead the field in design performance at an international level.
• Develop a research agenda, along with priorities and groupings to take the key research issues forward.
• Start groupings of collaborative activity to tackle key research issues and form innovative research partnerships.
• Encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas, concepts, frameworks and approaches.
• Create a dialogue between designers, artists, engineers, architects, social scientists, etc.
• Involve industry in these key discussions.• Disseminate information to the wider community.

tExercises – Research Themes
• Individually write down 5 research questions you think would be worth asking under the Design Performance banner
• Can we cluster them?• Choose to join one group (just for today) and work
together to look at what information we would like to have that would help us develop a research proposal in this area

tExercises – Cluster organisation
• How can we keep communication going between meetings?
• Do you think a summer school is a worthwhile exercise? If so what should we include?
• Do we have teaching materials that we could share relating to design performance? If so should we? And how?
