Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
In this focus section we explore the position that innovation has
in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). Innovation in
HCI may be seen as mainly incremental, introducing small changes
in existing systems and services. Design thinking, to the
contrary, has been recognized as an important driver of innovation
in business, education, health, and other important domains. As
both HCI and design thinking are seen as representing user-centred
perspectives, we are interested in lessons that could be learned
from design thinking and whether they could help move the
innovation in HCI to a more central position, and beyond just
small changes.
Many similarities, and differences, can be found between design
thinking and HCI design approach to innovation. Key to design
thinking is the capacity to generate and explore design
alternatives through user research, ideation, rapid iteration on
multiple alternatives, combining parts from different design
proposals, and evaluating with users. This problem-solving
procedure may be applied to the design of anything from designing
organizational changes, to designing products, services or
systems. HCI design processes, on the other hand, typically
involve analytical, requirements-driven approaches. HCI design
processes may also be more limited in scope, e.g. as they rarely
aim at bringing about organizational changes. HCI design processes
have been described as ‘finding the right solution to the given
problem’, as opposed to the design thinking that seeks to solve
the right problem, by questioning the framing of the problem and
opening the design space. We acknowledge that within HCI, and in
particular within participatory design, there is a long tradition
of work with issues along practical-political and
theoretical-conceptual lines that correspond to those of design
thinking. Thus, in conclusion, this special issue aims to explore
these differences and similarities in relation to innovation.

Topics of Interests
-----------------------------------------------------------
We welcome all papers discussing innovation in HCI, from diverse
points of view and from diverse research areas. The papers can
explore, but are not limited to, any of the following topics:
• HCI, design thinking and innovation towards sustainable future
• HCI and social innovation
• Design thinking, HCI and service innovation
• Design thinking, HCI and values
• HCI innovations transfer to products in use
• Design thinking in HCI education (or vice versa)
• The role of multidisciplinary teams in innovation
• Participatory design, design thinking and re-infrastructuring
• Innovation and decision-making processes
• Living labs and design thinking
KEYWORDS: Innovation; design thinking; radical
innovation; incremental innovation; design driven innovation.
