How might we maintain stability and grow our design org in a time of rapid change? How might we re-conceptualize design’s role in the 21st century?
Let’s design a support for designers. We must commit to equitable professional development and world-class design management across the organization.
Regardless of whether someone is a manager or an individual contributor, or whether they’re a designer, researcher, or content strategist, here’s how you can support, grow, and retain your design team:
- Assess equitably using objective criteria, transparent ratings, and calibration
- Enable sustained, personal growth through skills development and internal mobility
- Support design managers by developing a baseline, making a plan, and making it specific to designers
