The Creative Process

Design teams are guided by established best practices, common experiences and tribal knowledge. Developing something new tends to be an empirical creative process that does not conform to well-defined processes. Yes, there is a development process that is used as a framework, but one still must provide the creative environment for innovation.
We have been eating meat since the beginning of time. Bread has been with us for thousands of years.
So why was the sandwich invented just a few hundred years ago?
