Thanks for all the great comments.

@Fabien – excellent suggestions Designers certainly need their heads read sometimes. I know that occasional I do.

@Davidson – thank your for dropping by to comment.

@Michael – Exactly. I believe in many cases Collaboration is the key to excellent design. If you look at all great designers they are part of a team. You are certainly right that often it helps if the ‘scientist’ or engineer is able to work cohesively with the designer. Thanks for the other two excellent additions.

Nice post. I like that basically what you’re pointing out is that we designers need to be collaborative. We sometimes try to do it all, but if we tap these people for help our work will be much more actionable and successful. It would be a bonus if these people knew how to work with designers. Many of these listed are scientists, and if they can remove some of their technical rigor they can be even more helpful early on in upstream development.

If I can add two more, I think knowing a marketing person and a finance person are crucial for making your work actionable to fit within business strategies.

A philosopher and psychiatrist ! Do we really new products? Why do I crave for my idea to produced so the world can buy it?
