Surviving the blue sky project (This week in ux-clinic)

This week in the ux-clinic discussion forum- Lost in the tag cloud:

Here’s this week’s situation:

We finally got buy in to fund a future thinking blue sky design exploration for future releases of our software and websites. Problem is: we can’t decide if we should have internal designers do the work, or hire out a fancy firm. The debate is raging and I’m on the fence (and it’s my call & budget).

What’s the best way to do the following:
1) Manage an intentionally future thinking design project with few constraints
2) Decide on internal vs. out-source staff
3) Deliver something that doesn’t seem like a waste of time.
