Group interaction Week 24

Please comment in group on this paragraph: ‘Gradually, through experiments, internal and external interactions with fellow students, mentors, promotors and stakeholders the project advances. You adapt your project result to new insights. Through these adaptations, new frames of creation lead to interactive and synergistic values. In this sense, value creation both requires and produces valuable intangibles.’ How to really have end users participate and how to keep the dialogue ongoing? Is there a difference between projects? Does interaction have added value for your design process and for the end result?
