We had a lecture where we gave 3 slides on a slide show to give other students from different courses a chance to work with us.
This brief wanted us to outsource a collaborative partner who matched our requirements of skills needed for a particular brief of our choice. What brief and partner we chose was up to us,however they needed to match our skill sets as a partnership. In the world of design-thinking collaboration is an esteemed means to an end.
Good designers wouldn't go about designing anything without the input of peer-designers and colleagues from other core-competencies. Similarly from a design thinking perspective, one wouldn't go about designing anything new without any form of input. Again similar to the last brief, we were challenged on expanding our skill sets by learning from others as well as working on a higher creative level in an industry
standard setting. Collaborative enables you to be aware of what you bring to the table, what you are great at and what you aren't so great at.
So therefore your partner can fill in the gaps. More effective problem solving happens when you combine resources in talent and experience. Sharing and leveraging those resources means that your reach to new markets increases and re-energizes the connection you have with established customers. Your skills sets can compliment each other. Although sometimes things don't work out well when you collaborate with others, no matter how hard you try, how patient you are, and how well you listen. So for this brief it was extremely important we picked the right partner.
