Soft Skills as a Tool for Interdisciplinary Teamwork of Product Designers

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The results of the work of product designers are increasingly not possible without teamwork and especially interdisciplinary teamwork. Product designers often have a key role to play in such teams, and in addition to hard skills, they also need the soft competencies needed to interact in a team in order to be successful in their work. This study aimed to map the most important soft skills needed for interdisciplinary teamwork. 98 students in the field of product design and at the same time professional product designers took part in the international research. The research was based on the principle of a case study with journalist’s investigative methods in combination with qualitative and quantitative research and comparative analysis of documents. These documents have identified the most necessary soft skills for product designers in the last five years. In the next phase of the study, the research work was focused on building a competency model of the most preferred soft competencies, which are: teamwork, problem solving, communication and time management. The competency model could guide the preparation of educational courses and workshops, in which soft competencies would be developed for students in the field of product design, but also for professional designers. The reason is the clear need for good acquisition and use of competencies that will enable better interdisciplinary teamwork.
