Abstract
Action Design Research (ADR) is a commonly used methodology for conducting Design Science Research (DSR). The first activity in ADR is Problem Formulation, which defines the scope of the research and establishes the working relationships between the researcher(s) and the client(s). However, while tasks and principles are defined for Problem Formulation in ADR, specific ways of performing those tasks to achieve ADR’s principle of “theory-ingrained artifact” are lacking in the methodology description. This paper proposes combining Coloured Cognitive Mapping for Design Science Research (CCM4DSR) with ADR to support problem formulation. The combination is demonstrated and evaluated using the case study of an ADR project aiming to develop a purposeful artefact to support melanoma survivors in diligently performing effective skin check behaviours. The paper presents example coloured cognitive maps (CCMs) drawn from the case study and discusses how combining CCM4DSR with ADR contributes to ADR’s problem formulation activities, as well as subsequent ADR activities.
