Resumo(s)
In this article, the design competencies transferable to Non-Designers (N-D) are
deepened. With this in view, we analyze the process of acquisition of these tools and its
impacts on N-D. The article starts with the description of our vision on design. This
contextualization is important to identify the main competencies that designers must have.
The study on which skills to select was based on authors who have a practical perspective
of design, or observation of its praxis in common. The literature review allowed us to
establish a set of fourteen skills, as well as hierarchize them: Empathy, Collaboration,
Critical Thinking, Communication, Problem Solving, Openness, Experimentalism, Humility,
Leadership, Innovation, Facilitation, Flexibility, Divergency vs. Convergency and
Optimism. The fundamental idea of this paper is to ask N-Ds, with experience working in
co-design teams, about their evolution in the face of these skills, before and after being
exposed to the practice of design. In order not to give rise to different interpretations on
the meaning of each of these areas of knowledge/competencies, a description was
prepared followed by the relevance these competencies have for the subject of design.
The results of the surveys and interviews allow us to perceive that, when exposed to
design experiences, N-D are effectively able to assimilate competence in a very significant
way, and, allowed us to perceive the importance of soft skills in co-design teams, namely,
in what concerns its integration. In conclusion, we highlight the potential that these design
tools may have for N-D.
