Typically, organisations are structured within specific sectors based on disciplinary boundaries, while professionals are trained to tackle problems specific to their area of expertise with the aim of finding solutions. In contrast, transition projects necessitate collaboration between professionals from various disciplines and organisations, as well as a more integrative analysis of problems.
