Innovation et cadre sociocognitif des interactions concepteursopé rateurs: Une approche développementale

Abstract

This paper is focused on innovation, understand as a critical step of the design process : the implementation of an artifact, and its re-design in work practices. Based on a model of «appropriation »(presented in the article), the article focused on exchanges between designers and workers, interacting around multiple outlines of the object during its design. What develops at the border, between different communities interacting one on the other, and to what extent an interventionist can contribute to this process ? It is proposed an interpretation in terms of mutual trainings between heterogeneous «professional worlds », to articulate through the development of a «common world ». Based on a case, it is proposed to distinguish three levels for grasping the development of activities.
