i suppose it has a lon oh my god . right . yous know what it 's supposed to be . industrial designer: okay . user interface: it 's a dog . . um , i like dogs because , um , they 're so good to humans , like they can be trained to be police dogs and seeing-eye dogs , and they 're just such friendly animals . and , like they 're more of a companion than cats . industrial designer: yeah , that 's true . user interface: i 've nothing against cats . cats do n't really like me , so i ca n't like them . project manager: marketing: user interface: but they 're just so friendly and warm and nice animals , project manager: user interface: that do n't look like that . industrial designer: marketing: alrighty . i feel like a robot . user interface: project manager: industrial designer: marketing: okay . um , well i guess i had the most time to think about it . i 'm going to draw a butterfly , because i saw a butterfly yesterday , that seemed to be like the symbol of spring arriving . and it was actually the prettiest butterfly i 've ever seen out in the wild , and i though that was pretty cool in scotland . it was like , well it was a little pointier than that . at first i thought it was a dead leaf . user interface: marketing: and then it landed on the wall next to me . but this part was all brown and then it has these big blue dots like this . and then it kinda there was a green , i think it was a green ring , and there was like red going out like this . project manager: it 's kinda like a peacock . user interface: marketing: yeah , it kinda was actually , 'cause it was this part of the body was really dull , and then it was the most colourful exotic butterfly ever , and i 'm like , wow this is the middle of scotland in like march . project manager: industrial designer: marketing: so i thought that was pretty cool . and it landed by a wall and let me look at it for about two minutes . i wish i 'd had my camera . so that 's gon na be my favourite animal because after all the snow it seemed to say that like spring is finally here . yeah . industrial designer: very nice . marketing: there you go . project manager: great . marketing: uh , what do we oh . project manager: do you hear the eraser buzzing while you do that ? marketing: yes i do . project manager: yea right . marketing: project manager: so , now that we know how to use the whiteboard , industrial designer: okay . project manager: um , the next , um , thing we need to address is our financial department , to meet our our budget , um or not meet our budget but more , um , like what kind of , uh , selling range we 'll be looking at , um , wan na make this um selling price of twenty five euros . and so we have to , um , come up with a way to , to create a , a uh remote control , where um we can like the price to create it will be significantly less . um , we 'd like to , um to , uh , make fifty million euro . i 'm assuming that 's what the m_ means . um , and make it for an international market . um , one thing we 'd have to think about internationally is in the design of , um , like different kinds of , uh , v_c_r_s . things like that , depending on which country you are . another thing for the design team to think about . um , we want it to cost , uh , absolute maximum of twelve euro and fifty cents . marketing: okay , so we 'll have a hundred percent profit then ? twelve fifty . project manager: i 'm bad at math . marketing: okay . project manager: 'kay . um , industrial designer: project manager: so now that , um , that is underway , um industrial designer: project manager: it is discussion time . so this is time for us to bring our initial ideas , any um suggestions that you may have so far , a um your personal experiences with remote controls , and um , um , areas you see that , uh , could be improved in your experience with them . does anyone have any initial thoughts ? marketing: i find that in the dark it 's often hard to know what button you 're pushing . project manager: mm-hmm . so what 's something we could , uh , do to remedy that ? industrial designer: marketing: industrial designer: okay . marketing: um industrial designer: i always find that in our house the remote control always goes missing . project manager: industrial designer: it 's always , where is the remote control ? user interface: yeah . industrial designer: so maybe if you could have some kind of tracking device for the remote control or some signal that you could find out where it was . project manager: industrial designer: i dunno , some kind of alarm . you can press a button on your wall , signal , project manager: yeah . it 's a great idea . it 's a great idea . user interface: industrial designer: 'cause it always gets lost . user interface: do yous not find that , um , like , there 's a lot of , um , buttons on your remote control , and you do n't know what half of them do . industrial designer: yeah . marketing: mm-hmm . industrial designer: yeah , that you do n't use half of them . project manager: user interface: yeah , i do n't know what they do . marketing: mm-hmm . there 's some remote controls where there 's kind of a hidden panel , so all those buttons that you do n't really use unless you 're programming or something . user interface: yeah . industrial designer: yeah , that 's , that 's marketing: that 's useful . industrial designer: yeah , it is . yeah . marketing: so you just have like the number buttons , power button , tv video button . user interface: yeah . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: alright . anything about , um , the look of the , uh , remote control that you might have ideas about . maybe it could be , instead of like a standard rectangular shape , it could be , um , something more interesting like marketing: project manager: any ideas will do that you have at this point . industrial designer: mm . marketing: could be shaped like a conch , project manager: can hold it . industrial designer: a novelty . user interface: marketing: you know . be like a shell-shaped remote . project manager: yeah . industrial designer: are we going into kind of novelty factors here . like , i 've seen phones like a project manager: well if it 's a trendy original , um , aspect we 're going for . industrial designer: okay . project manager: i mean , you 're the designers , you c , you can um decide what kind of , um , direction you wan na go in , industrial designer: yeah . mm-hmm . user interface: yeah . project manager: but at this point in the , in the first meeting it can be any ideas that we just throw out there . industrial designer: yeah . i suppose , if we 're he heading to have it , like make a huge profit out of this , it needs to be quite a universally accepted thing . like , a novelty thing might only sell a few things rather than , like , a general kind of more acceptable user interface: yeah . marketing: . project manager: mm-hmm . industrial designer: but we do n't wan na go towards boring , 'cause that would n't sell either . project manager: yeah . industrial designer: so , hmm . project manager: and the key issue here is , is being trendy and original . um , that does not necessarily mean it needs to be outrageous . industrial designer: yeah . yeah . project manager: right . okay we have five minutes left . so , just to cover we have one more thing . um , like you can go over your ideas , of course , in your own personal times . um , our next meeting will be in half an hour . industrial designer: yeah . project manager: so you have half an hour to , uh , think about what you want to present . or not present but bring to the meeting . um , i_d_ , whatever that stands for . industrial designer: industrial designer . marketing: interface ? project manager: industrial designer . industrial designer: that 's me . marketing: oh , industrial . project manager: i have to remember these things . um . you 'll be beginning your , your working design . industrial designer: mm-hmm . project manager: um , u_i_d_ the technical functions design will , will be worked on the next thirty minutes . um , maybe how this can be achieved , and , um , we need the user requirements from the manag marketing expert . marketing: marketing expert . project manager: um , you will get specific instructions , um , of what to do in the next half an hour . and i 'll see you in half an hour , okay ? industrial designer: okay . project manager: 'kay . industrial designer: thank you . user interface: </s> [SEP]summarize the team building process with favourite animals .
