Traditionally engage in late phases of
product development (after R&D and
strategic decision making)
focused on the solution

professionally trained (8.000h +)
traditionally focused on expressing
themselves visually, idea generation,
product-user-testing
high ambiguity tolerance,
creative confidence, no process
needs to engage with diverse experts,
little formal team process, can work
autonomous
user, technology and/or meaning centered
