A Methodology to Structure Ill-Structured Processes: Performance Centered Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to develop and illustrate a performance-centered design (PCD) methodology for finding the underlying structure of ill-defined processes and problems. The context for our theoretical exposition is the fuzzy front-end of new product development (NPD). Within the NPD process, front-end concept definition and selection is central to a firm’s innovation capability because it drives the entire NPD process. Yet, despite this fact, these activities are ill-structured and typically the most poorly managed activities in the entire innovation process. We propose that the front-end of NPD can be more effectively enabled through the simultaneous structuring and development of processes and implementation techniques. Through a case study, we illustrate the proposed PCD methodology and illustrate how electronic performance support technology can be utilized to support the fuzzy front-end process.

There is great interest in computer music in learning how to provide musicians, both composers and performers, with better interfaces to computing capabilities. However, since musical success is an aesthetic and cannot be determined from quantitative measurements, the needs of musicians are significantly different from the needs of many other computer users. Therefore, a distinct design methodo...
