The Designer as Facilitator of Multidisciplinary Innovation Projects
Designers increasingly facilitate multidisciplinary innovation projects. The user-centred design approach offers the opportunity to increase idea generation, co-creation and multidisciplinary exchange and convey more flexible and open innovation process approaches. However, we have little knowledge about how the designer as facilitator influences these innovation projects. This becomes however more and more important, as more open and networked innovation have become prominent innovation paradigms. This paper explores the contribution that designers bring into multidisciplinary settings. It is based on empirical data from three case studies. It contributes to extant literature on designers as facilitators by identifying the interplay between different levels of creative facilitation as moderating factor for the fulfilment level of the collaboration. We propose to include the balancing of this interplay as additional input of facilitating designers.
