Sociologists can help members of a design
team understand the implications of this and to operate in the
more abstract realm of designing services, where you are affected
more by relationships among people as well as between users and
objects or interfaces. Although services have been around for a
long time,the sudden expansion of technology enabled services—
and hence service design as a discipline—is still very new

The addition of the expertise of sociologists to a design team
is especially important when the nature of the constraints is
systemic.When we are designing connected systems of products,
services, and spaces, which are used in real time, the brain of any
designer who tries to absorb all of the constraints is likely to
explode. We are better equipped to face the complexity as an
interdisciplinary team, with a collective consciousness, and the
ability to create designs as a group or team rather than as
individuals.
