Jared Spool states: "Once the team starts to get multiple experts, they naturally will not agree on important decisions."
That certainly doesn't match the experiences I've observed, in both cases of multiple interaction experts or in cases where there was one or more interaction design experts and an engineering expert. Collaboration and working through the possible solutions (either at the macro or micro scale of the project), generally always allows these to be worked out effectively and successfully. I consider this all to be part of the overall RED practice. And again, nobody I've ever worked with has referred to themselves as an inherent "genius," but has simply visualized and iteratively developed their solution or proposal that became part of or altered the larger solution. Any team will naturally have more experienced and less experienced members. Personalities and styles, however, can vary a great deal. I've seen many younger designers coneive brilliant and insightful solutions, and a good and effective RED team will always immediately recognize and incorporate this. None of the RED efforts I've been part of have been dictatorships (among the RED team). There are, at times, issues that can be in contention, but with communication and effort at working through options, these are resolvable in successful ways that add value to the effort. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
