PADIS is the acronym for the ‘procedure for analysing the design of interactive solutions ’.
If one may use the noun ‘paradigm ’ to mean that way of looking at a problem that permits a solution to that problem to be found, PADIS is both a paradigm for the design process, and a practical system of design management based on that paradigm, enabling important benefits to be realised.
Study of the requirements for a design management system had been under way since 1970, but after the fortuitous discovery of the paradigm early in 1977 it became possible to carry out focusing development, and in a succession of small scale experiments a much deeper understanding of the problem was obtained.
