William Cockayne

William Cockayne serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) in Karlskrona, with his office located in Room J3415. His research centers on Mechanical Engineering, specifically addressing product-service systems and innovation methodologies.

His primary research interests include Mechanical Engineering, Product-Service Systems, Innovation, and Resilient Systems. He investigates how tangible prototypes facilitate team decision-making in developing resilient systems, as demonstrated in his 2024 Smart Services Summit publication. His co-authored book "Building Moonshots" (2023) explores radical innovation frameworks for ambitious technological advancement.

Recent publications reveal a distinct interdisciplinary trajectory bridging engineering, business strategy, and future-oriented design. The 2024 work analyzes prototyping in resilient product-service development, while the 2023 book establishes foundational principles for moonshot innovation. Collectively, these contributions emphasize practical decision-making tools and systemic approaches to transformative innovation.
