Facilitating Team Cognition

How designers mirror what NPD teams do Appendices Appendices belonging to a PhD thesis How designers mirror what NPD teams do Appendices Proefschrift ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Technische Universiteit Delft; op gezag van der Rector Magnificus prof. The appendices all concern distinct studies with a specific aim. These are embedded into the context in which a study is done. Thus, each study is deeply immersed into the topic at hand. All studies together are building blocks for distilling findings that transcend the typical context of these individual studies, as some findings are persistent across these studies. These persistent findings provide the ground to understand team cognition and the contribution of designers, as discussed in the chapter 6 up to 9 in the thesis. In this supplementary book, the individual studies are presented. Each of these are interesting, regardless that it is rooted deeply into the context of Océ and provide revelatory insights, checked across the studies. As the studies are conducted a priori the thesis itself, sometimes the language deployed is not entirely in line with the vocabulary as deployed in the thesis. Also, in the thesis sometimes additional reflections are done, that no longer can be traced in the individual studies. An important example is that in appendix 2, 3 and 4 I discuss the distinction between sensemaking and reflection-inaction in-depth, two team cognitive processes. Not until I wrote chapter 6 and 7, developing an revised framework for team cognition, I understood that I overlooked 2 other team cognitive processes, above all 'minding'. Thus, in the thesis, additional reflections can be found. The appendices are:  Appendix 1: Designing as designating. This is a stakeholders analysis, that both provided (1) the ground to institute the problem plus the subsequent research question for the thesis; and (2) enabled to compare rival theories on team cognition  Appendix 2: Analysis of my journal. This concern an analysis of my personal observations as captured and documented by means of my journal. Also screen dumps of CAD, reports, models, photos and few filmed meetings provided the data for this analysis.  Appendix 3: the team reflective practice. This concerns an in-depth analysis of a filmed meeting that was critical. The stakes were high, and many team members were involved. For the analysis a method is deployed to analyse the team activities according to Schön's reflective practice (Schön 1983), …
