In the paper, the overall structure of the ID project is outlined and aspects of design work are addressed through detailed analysis of interactions between the participants. In addition, the role of visualizations and the nature of design problems are examined. The conclusions of the paper include implications for the organization if industrial design projects. In addition, general notes are made about the nature of ID within the company - and technology intensive areas in general.
