| Abstract: | The result of a new product development (NPD) process is not only a new product of desired quality but also learning new competence from problem-solving experience. The learning results in a core competence, unique to the company, that makes it competitive in the future. Research results show that groups of specialists develop core competencies through learning by experience from joint problem solving at the technological front line. Specialists in a particular field, talking the same professional language, act as a living system in a self-organizing group. Primarily individuals make experiences as tacit knowledge. It is then confirmed in a dialogue with colleagues in the specialist group to which individual belongs. |
