I am a postdoc researcher at Design School Kolding, affiliated with the national Danish business development project Sprint:Digital. In my current research I study Design Sprints in a digital business development context, and the nature of the value that the design methods provide to business innovation.My research interest lies within the areas of design thinking, design processes, problem solving and applied creativity. In my PhD I have conducted ground research into design practice, studying the nature and mechanisms of the design process in which designers get from ‘nothing’ to something.

Books by Sidse A N S B J E R G Bordal
Based on empirical studies of 10 Master’s design students’ projects from industrial and fashion design, and by review and revision of existing design theory, the dissertation proposes a new way to conceptualise design as material 'information processing' instead of ‘problem solving’. This perspective holds potential to unify paradigmatic and disciplinary epistemic conflicts in design methodology, and provides a new terminology by which to talk about and comprehend design and its 'fuzziness'.
As a piece of basic research the dissertation contributes knowledge and new perspectives on design processes, which may be of value both within the field of design – in professional design practice and education – and beyond, when design thinking is used as a driver for innovation in other fields.
