These notes begin with a overview of innovation and describe some of the innovative tools currently available to help you innovate. They then go on to consider some of the more traditional design methods and in particular the Total Design philosophy developed by the late Professor Stuart Pugh. It recommended that they be supplemented by reading his book Total Design - Integrated Methods for Successful Product Design ISBN 0-201-41639-5.
