This document provides an update on an exploratory study conducted by Allen J Cochran. It summarizes the study's area of interest, participants, data collection method, data analysis, and next steps. Five design professionals participated in interviews to share their perspectives on topics like collaboration, communication, technology, and process in their work. Major themes identified from the interviews include designing for non-profits, new design approaches, global perspectives, communication challenges, and barriers between organizational silos. The next steps outlined are to create a workbook compiling the findings and solicit feedback on the study.
