“…Since the introduction of PD, a large number of methods have been established to achieve these goals in the field of workplace and process design [8], but there is a lack of support in finding and selecting the right method for a particular situation. Therefore, maintaining an overview of all available PD methods is rather difficult.…”

“…The development of a suitable procedure for the selection of PD methods is based on a model for classifying and describing the methods from the field of application. Literature shows a great variety of methodological approaches for the implementation of PD, since the established methods are suitable for a wide range of topics [8]. As the selection of the most appropriate method occurs to be a multidimensional problem, we created a model in a three-dimensional space, as this is barely visually processible by humans.…”

“…Starting from the relevant aspects for conducting a pre-selection, the method cube is divided into three dimensions: 1) Team composition, 2) Position in the innovation cycle and 3) Degree of prior knowledge [8]. They represent the main selection criteria for identifying suitable methods in the field of PD.…”

The activities to introduce Industry 4.0 and Digitalization into manufacturing environments imply a multitude of new systems and technologies which change work environments and tasks that are existing there up to now. In order to cope with the increasing complexity, employees in production must be transferred into knowledge workers. This requires new approaches of work organization, training and education, and the active involvement of employees in shaping future workplaces and processes. To achieve these goals new approaches and methods for collaborative design and reorganization of workplaces and processes involving employees by means of participatory design need to be developed and implemented. Due to the large number of available methods, targeted support for the workers is required for selecting suitable methods. In this paper, the motivation and reasons to use participatory design are explained, an approach to support method selection is developed, and a computer-aided selection procedure for empowering the responsible persons on the shop floors is presented. Following, this is the basis for applications in an industrial context, where the solution can be validated and improved based on practical experiences.

“…Some prototyping methods are more conceptual, such as sensitivity testing or computer modelling (Westley & Laban, 2015). Other methods are more tangible, such as building models with cardboard or Lego (Tawalbeh et al, 2017). The latter was considered for one of the solutions identified in this lab (i.e., improving labels to distinguish bioplastic packaging from other types of plastic packaging).…”

Qualitative research methods had to quickly adapt to using online platforms due to the COVID-19 pandemic to limit in-person interactions. Online platforms have been used extensively for interviews and focus groups, but workshops with larger groups requiring more complex interactions have not been widely implemented. This paper presents a case study of a fully virtual social innovation lab on bioplastics packaging, which was adapted from a series of in-person workshops. A positive outcome of the online setting was diversifying the types of participants who could participate. Highly interactive activities such as icebreakers, networking, bricolage, and prototyping were particularly challenging to shift from in-person to online using traditional web conferencing platforms like Zoom. Creative use of online tools, such as Gather.Town and Kahoot!, helped unlock more innovative thinking by employing novel techniques such as gamification. However, challenges such as adapting facilitation for an online environment and exclusion of groups that do not have consistent access to internet and/or computers still need to be addressed. The reflections and lessons learned from this paper can help researchers adapt qualitative methods to virtual environments.

Innovation is a necessity for the survival in the dynamic and complex environment companies are currently in. Innovation is not only the result of a creative development process, but comes out also from the value adding process itself, and derives from the generation of knowledge, including the interaction and application of knowledge for market success. Therefore, the ability to collect all possible knowledge and trigger it for success is of great importance for being competitive. This is also the main focus of participatory design activities. In this work, with a special view on the importance of knowledge management, an approach using the analysis of relevant and available knowledge has been set up for the determination of suitable methods for participatory design activities. In detail, objectives of knowledge management are identified according to different requirements of the innovation lifecycle. Cognitive and technology gaps among participants are further analyzed to provide an in-depth view on the problem of participatory design. With the matching of problems with the potentials of possible participatory design methods, proper methods are further identified, which helps to realize objectives of knowledge management, in the end leading to the success of value adding.
