意义创新是设计思维研究中备受关注的流派之一。由内而外的设想旨在帮助非设计师员工实践IOM，其方式类似于有远见的高管和设计师的表现。改革过程首先是暴露他们创新占主导地位的社会或组织意义的内在愿景。这使得来自内在目标和价值观的员工创造力成为由内而外愿景的重要驱动力。因此，培养一种鼓励员工参与由内而外的设想并提高他们的创造力的组织文化是至关重要的。本研究探讨包容性作为一种组织文化，是否是由内而外想象中创造力的前置因素。包容性是指个体的独特性被其他群体成员重视并外化以提高群体绩效的一种状态。基于对1104名日本员工进行的一项调查数据，这项研究发现，包容性显著影响内向外想象的创造力。多组分析表明，基于由内向外设想的成功经验，这种关系的中介变量的影响存在差异。这项研究的结论是，对于设计思维研究者来说，更深入地研究包容是实现由内而外想象的一种方式是很重要的。
Innovation of meaning (IoM) is one of the streams that has attracted attention in design thinking research. Inside‐out envisioning aims to assist non‐designer employees practice IoM in a similar manner to how visionary executives and designers perform. The process starts with exposing their intrinsic visions to innovate the dominant social or organizational meanings. This makes the employees' creativity that comes from intrinsic goals and values an important driving force of inside‐out envisioning. Thus, it is crucial to foster an organizational culture that encourages employees to engage in inside‐out envisioning and enhance their creativity. This study explores whether inclusion, as an organizational culture, is an antecedent of creativity in inside‐out envisioning. Inclusion refers to a state in which an individual's uniqueness is valued by other group members and externalized to improve group performance. Based on data from a survey conducted with 1104 Japanese employees, this study reveals that inclusion significantly impacts creativity in inside‐out envisioning. A multigroup analysis demonstrates differences in the effects of the mediating variables of this relationship based on the successful experience of inside‐out envisioning. This study concludes that it is important for design thinking researchers to study inclusion more deeply as a way to implement inside‐out envisioning.
