Engelbart's team (the one that came up with the personal computer back in 68) was a combination of engineers and psychologists, and I think there's something really powerful about that. It's not about the psychological results specifically, it's more about integrating the psychological perspective during product discovery.
So what is the equivalent 50 years on? Maybe sociologists could be hired as PMs, or anthropologists in R&D (I know Microsoft and Intel are really good at this, but I mean for smaller, sub-1000 person firms). I wonder what those blended teams would come up with.
