Moggridge describes design as a process that necessitates collaborative practices. The ability to foster an intimate working relationship between people with different design backgrounds makes a significant difference. Specifically, the convergence of research methods and design practices from different backgrounds (sociological, anthropological, engineering, etc) ultimately results in a more stable design. The physical idea of collaboration is best seen in the idea of having a 'project room' that enables everything involved in a project to come together in one tangible location.

Later in the clip, Moggridge moves on to explain the imperative nature of designing for others. One way that designers enable the people that they design for to be involved is by allowing participatory design practices to take place. Moggridge's example here involves a group of surgeons that are allowed to take part in designing a tool that they use in nasal surgery. Instead of designers making the major decisions, the doctors involved in designing the tool were allowed to contribute their own opinions and design choices. Having the surgeons as part of the design team ultimately lead to them feeling as if the project was as much theirs as it was the project of the design team as a whole. Another way that designers allow the people they design for to be involved is to involve to involve them in the results. Moggridge's example of this is that of a blood drive, where a more humanizing aspect to design was introduced.

Wikipedia is an example of a collaborative design, as it is an online encyclopedia that is generated only by user contribution. Without the users, editors and readers, it will not exist, and will not expand. Wikipedia is unique in the aspect that all contribution is done online and people do not have to meet face to face in order to generate content. www.wikipedia.com
