I have been thinking about Quality Function Deployment as a tool to use in learning design and other situations. It could be an example of a link to make for people on the OLDS MOOC course and at the Deming SIG meeting next Friday.

I will be speaking after Alan Clark and Antony Upward have explained two approaches to sustainability. I think the links between Deming and design science will emerge during the afternoon. I will speak about design science in a bit more detail and hope to make a comparison with learning design.

So far I have two versions of slides, both improved by borrowing a couple of slides from Antony. So now there is a clear definition of design science and also a diagram of soft systems. I expect systems to be an aspect that interests the audience.

I don't have a full diagram but could start with four functions, two sets of conflict

The slides should include some definitive information

The slides should allow space for the group to develop a shared understanding

Not so many slides that it takes too much time, especially just before lunch

Enough slides to include as much info as might be asked for

So at this point I'd like some feedback. Any strong views on these four aspects?

I have two versions at the moment. The one with videos could work online for people who have time. I don't think there will be enough time next Friday.
