Proceedings of the 19th CIRP Design Conference – Competitive Design, Cranfield University, 30-31 March 2009, pp17978-0-9557436-4-1http://hdl.handle.net/1826/3782Organised by: Cranfield UniversityCollaboration is an essential factor of the design activities performance. This collaboration occurs between actors suited with varied expertises, coming from various trades and thus building a real network around the design project. It is advisable to manage with effectiveness the follow-up and the capitalization of information exchanged within this network. With the aim of increasing the performance of the design activity, the set up of competence management tools within the design teams is today necessary. However, these competencies management within a framework of collaborative design must answer various challenges. This article presents various proposals to answer them.enCopyright: Cranfield University 2009Collaborative DesignDynamic Competencies ManagementDesign Process ManagementConference paper
