Collaboration
Expert Interview
While the primary focus of the Inspiration phase is to communicate with the individuals you are designing for, it is also beneficial to seek insight from experts. Experts can provide a comprehensive understanding of your project area, including recent advancements, both successful and unsuccessful, and the viewpoints of institutions such as banks, governments, or NGOs. Additionally, experts can offer specialized technical guidance.

Select experts who have diverse perspectives. Avoid repetitive opinions.
Inquire intelligently with well-researched questions. Be prepared with a learning objective in mind, but maintain a flexible approach to explore unforeseen topics of interest.
