Research exchange
Bring questions, observations and different research perspectives.
Together, a clearer hypothesis and question map could emerge.OPEN COLLABORATION / 04
Open collaboration
Start with a question worth studying together
Technical collaboration
Discuss interfaces, prototypes and constraints at the current stage.
Align boundaries before discussing a suitable validation plan.Scenario co-creation
Bring specific people and settings into the discussion.
Begin with participation, assumptions and potential failures.Each discipline brings a different judgement
Useful collaboration keeps differences visible and examines a question under different constraints. These are perspectives for discussion; the scope requires mutual agreement.
What really happens here?
People, space, participation and overlooked needs.
What observation can support a judgement?
Question framing, test conditions and contrary evidence.
Can people understand and control their choices?
Language, interfaces, behaviour and correction in use.
What constrains implementation?
Interfaces, resources, risks and stage goals.
A SHARED QUESTION
Align the question before deciding how to work together
- 01
Describe the setting
Who takes part, and which experience should change?
- 02
Agree on boundaries
What is known, and which resources and permissions remain open?
- 03
Choose a validation
What smallest action would help both sides reach a judgement?
- 04
Review the next step
Create material for discussion, then continue, adjust or close.
A question map can retain unresolved differences. Agreement about what remains unknown can also be a valuable outcome.
