DLV

Design Led Ventures (DLV) enable learners and organisations to grow as innovative thinkers through developing innovative functional solutions that enhance how we live. The DLV is underpinned by a design led process which provides opportunities for learners to understand authentic needs and issues within a variety of context.

As participants travel along the DLV Pathway to Innovation they work within three iterative design phases of Engage, Ideate and Prototype to create and convey novel ideas and functional solutions that meet a need or issue relative to a specific context. In developing a solution there may be entrepreneurial opportunities where the solution can be further investigated and implemented
