According to Brown the three main ideas in the process of making a design are inspiration, ideation, and implementation. Brown also states that a "design thinker" must be collaborative, and empathic in order to create things in this world. Collaboration is a key factor when it comes to knowledge management.
The collaborative efforts taken in order to design or create something often helps the complexity and uniqueness of the object at hand. Without collaboration, designs are left to the individual thinker which also leads to the clash of multiple opinions. But not all collaborative efforts are merely in the design or creation of an object.
Collaborative efforts can span from many sources such as process. Although an idea can be created, it is nothing until it actually takes a life of its on. For example; USB's have become a convient way for moving data from computer to computer, the idea is simple yet genius, but it would be nothing without the efforts of those individuals who took that idea and made it into a design, those who decided how to manufacture it, or even those who decided to market it.
Should an individual even be capable of collaborative efforts then they are capable of knowledge management. So when it comes to design-driven innovation, it can be understood how knowledge management may influence or even support it.
