Abstract
Design science research is experiencing a comeback within IS research, as there are movements towards more fashion setting and practitioner relevant research. An engagement approach for design science research is proposed to engage in practical collaboration with companies. The approach allows for researchers to actively participate in artifact development and implementation in case companies, which generates firsthand knowledge for following generation of new theories. The proposed approach is relevant for potentially all design science researchers within IS research and is based on generally accepted design science research models.
