Our Approach
We guide businesses to find unique value propositions in new business models, products and services through a multi-disciplinary co-creation approach in design innovation and experimentation.
Innovate
DF@SIT provides design consultancy, needs-finding, project scoping, co-creation and industry mentorship for pre-startup projects, strategy development and business planning, anchored on the Design Thinking Methodology.
We also offer 3-year collaboration agreements with companies. These joint collaborations provide a platform for substantial, meaningful pathways that offer thematic areas to ensure a pipeline of projects that SIT students and staff from partner organisations can work on. These could include proof-of-concept or capstone projects. The structured collaboration across three years aims to deliver downstream application outcomes and be known in the broader ecosystem.
Educate
DF@SIT brings together businesses and institutions from Singapore and across the Design Factory Global Network, to develop collaborative real-world projects for advancing applied learning and applied research through a passion-based culture and effective problem solving.
This includes:
- University-level interdisciplinary common module
- Student-led initiatives aligned with e2ei framework
Elevate
DF@SIT offers a selection of workshops, SSG SkillsFuture courses, and modules for students, industry and individuals interested in different design disciplines, design innovation, ideation, and prototyping.
We offer:
- User-centric Design Innovation CETs
