Expand the theoretical foundation of Design and Social Innovation studies by broadening the bibliographic references used, given the extensive literature evidenced by the thesis.
Incorporate the social structures that contextualize projects, rather than focusing only on the designer as an agent of Social Innovation.
Create appropriate tools to evaluate the results of Design in Social Innovation and measure the impact of actions qualitatively and quantitatively using defined criteria.
Carry out comparative studies between Design and Social Innovation processes supported by public-origin policy tools and those supported by private-origin policy tools.
Create analytical criteria to investigate Design deliverables in depth and test whether those responses can be compared using innovation scales.
Conduct isolated studies on each project typology in Design and Social Innovation: research-oriented projects, teaching-oriented projects, and professional-practice projects.
Include leaders, administrators, and staff involved in managing the policy tools within the interview sample, and collect these interviews early in the data-gathering process in order to diagnose their perceptions of Design processes and results.
