In this paper authors describe the conceptual design and prototypical implementation of an IT system that supports creative individuals performing such creative development efforts. The conceptual design builds on the provision of explicit knowledge by means of multi-perspective, hierarchical navigation structures. The authors argue that this concept has two main benefitial aspects: 1. fosters information access that accords with the creative nature of a product development process and 2. supports creative thinking through the provision of three distinct types of stimuli that actuates new entry points in a persons cognitive network.
