Swedish term or phrase: praktiskt
Hello

In the sentence

Enkelt uttryckt vet vi designers hur man ***praktiskt*** skapar nya attraktiva lösningar på saker som behöver fungera bättre.

should I take ***praktiskt*** to mean

"more or less" (he is practically broke)

or

"in a practical way"

or is it ambiguous here like it could be in English?

Thanks

Explanation:
I wanted to throw in another use of "praktiskt", perhaps usually in the combination "väldigt praktiskt", for examples see here: http://tinyurl.com/holyycn
An extension and loosening of the meaning "ändamånsenligt" and similar. Often used as a quite general positive evaluation.
