The pressure exerted on designers is not only a comforting continuity but also stems from major trends related to climate change, resource depletion, inter-individual local and international relationships, and more. While this approach is often personal to a large extend, having a (good) idea without exchanging with various partners generally does not lead very far. It is essential to consider, in a more global, interdisciplinary and forward-thinking manner, how to translate and further develop the seed of an idea to bring forth realistic solutions on scientific and/or technical levels. For intelligence to be collective or collaborative, it must be effectively shared. This sharing, within heuristic processes, raises awareness of the variety and complexity of ideas and encourages acceptance of the heterogeneity of each thought, solution, practice, and behavior. The aim of this collective work is to define a critical path through which the organization will create value.}}
