POTENTIAL DOWNSIDES
![Page 26: Don’t Go It Alone: Using Collaboration to Solve Creative Design Problems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5556dab5d8b42ac60c8b460e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
POTENTIAL DOWNSIDES
Team dynamics can get in the way
Designers can initially feel disempowered and threatened
This is a new way of working for many people, so expect some resistance
Ideas without execution; “collaboration is a waste of time”
Potential increase in time and money
