Koskinen and Thomson (2012: 79) differentiate between user-centred design and user-driven design.
User-centred design means that design innovation is focused on users’ needs and the delivery of new benefits to them in their use of products, services, environments, systems, and so on. A user-centred approach, they contend, is a strong support to incremental innovation.
User-driven design implies that innovation comes from users, leading to new approaches and methods to engaging end-users in the design process from the outset.
