Abstract

Although the development of methods and tools was for many decades the main focus of design research, transfer of research results to practice has been fragmented and limited and, hence, had a low impact. Various studies into the problems involved in transfer have been undertaken  the uptake of the recommended improvements has been limited. One of the reasons, in our opinion, is the lack of a coherent, and agreed upon set of heuristics. This is where we intend to contribute. In this chapter we focus on the transfer of design research results into practice as experienced by those who have been involved in their development. Our aim is to propose a preliminary set of best practice heuristics for researchers to enhance the chances of successful transfer of research results into practice as a starting point for discussion and further research.

1
The term support refers to “the possible means, aids and measures that can be used to improve design. This includes strategies, methodologies, procedures, methods, techniques, software tools, guidelines, information sources, etc., addressing one or more aspects of design” (Blessing and Chakrabarti 2009).
 
2
Gregory (1984) speaks of Design Technology comprising “general design technology and broadly applicable techniques, domain specific procedures and techniques, and CAD systems and processes” “It includes all the essentials for the execution of design work.”
 
3
The percentage indicates the percentage of participants who agreed that a particular heuristic applies to the successfully transferred research result.
