Mentions of ML in academic papers
Every company across every industry is
now compelled to reconsider their
traditional ways of doing business to keep
pace with rapidly changing technology
and consumer expectations.
The convergence of digital technologies
with breakthroughs in materials science
and even biology means we’re seeing an
emergence of entirely new ways in which
to live and what it means to be human.
We’re either witnessing the end of work as we
know it or “merely” a profound
transformation of what jobs humans do.

DESIGN LEADERSHIP
Leveling Up Design Leadership
Most managers have been either explicitly
or implicitly trained to think in terms of
accomplishing fixed goals, tasks, and
deliverables in a predictable world…
AMY EDMONSON
HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL
…We all know we’re not in that kind of
world — and yet the fundamental mindset
and skills of management work best for
fixed, understandable, reasonably
predictable deliverables.
AMY EDMONSON
HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL
Leveling Up Design Leadership
FIXED GOALS
•Risk averse
•Designing the planned thing
•Research only confirms decisions or suggests cosmetic changes
FIXED TASKS
FIXED DELIVERABLES
PREDICTABLE
• Specs must be heavily documented so management approves and
development teams begin work
• Linear approach: Step by step design process, often in separate silos
• Only focused on delivering something on time and to spec
•Deliverables don’t change based on what teams learn
• Rote methods prioritizing consistency in approach and execution
• Did the boss like it?
• Does it meet all the requirements?
• Did we hand it off on time?
• Did dev have to make changes?

The complex, transformative, and distributed nature
of the 4th Industrial Revolution demands a new type
of leadership Schwab calls Systems Leadership.
Systems leadership prepares us for leading smaller,
temporal groups arranged in squads, or small,
balanced teams of designers working alongside
product managers, working alongside devs.
Leading teams without authority is
now the only way to get things done

INTERCONNECTEDNESS VS DISCONNECTION
CIRCULAR VS LINEAR
EMERGENCE VS SILOS
• Emphasize a clear vision and north star
• Show how design work drives business value
• Diverse teams involved sooner
• Monitor behaviors that change over time via multiple feedback loops
• Review research with cross-functional teams to make sure findings
reflect reality
• Promote—not just tolerate—new or unexpected outcomes when co-
designing with colleagues, partners, customers
• Map experiences beyond just the perceived
beginning and end of use
WHOLES VS PARTS
SYNTHESIS OVER ANALYSIS
RELATIONSHIPS INSTEAD OF ISOLATION
• Interview more than just direct users—include 2nd & 3rd roles
• Map multiple touchpoints of the larger ecosystem
• Monitor organizational alignment goals, priorities, and milestones
• Self-aware of their own position relative to others
• Cognitive humility: asking questions is ok
• Foster psychological safety
• Embrace individual ideas to be evaluated by the group
• Promote double-loop learning
• Did it create positive business value?
• Does it create an impact?
• To whom are these results important?
• Did we learn anything unexpected we must address now?
• Where else can we drive change?
DETERMINE SUCCESS BY:
Include diverse teams
sooner in kickoffs,
research, vision
exercises, journeys
Share research across
projects, teams and
timelines
Monitor ethical inflection
points through multiple
methods throughout
product development, not
just at the start or end
Map goals that
stakeholders want,
that they’re measured
by, and tailored to
your culture
(engineering, sales,
product, etc)

Scaling the design practice means establishing,
governing, and evangelizing the practices, norms, and
methods for how design should be done at your
organization, as it grows beyond your original remit
across lines of business and products, even if it’s not
you directly managing the output or outcomes
When we talk about scaling a business,
we’re not just talking about growing it.
We’re talking about improving its ability
to handle growth.

It may not be enough to just scale the design practice
to better handle more work with higher expectations.
We have to develop the careers of our designers so
they grow with our organizations, not out.
• Individual interests:

Where an individual wants to grow and improve
• Team/Group interests:

Where the entire team or group of individuals want to develop
• Just-in-time development:

Where you may be weakest and who is interested in getting
better to meet a near-term need
• Long term practice development:

Where your team can begin addressing needs for skills or
specialization you expect to materialize later

KNOW YOUR ROLE TO DEVELOP YOUR TEAM
MENTOR SPONSOR
Let’s develop a three-
month plan to improve
how you’re prioritizing
projects.
What led you to choose
that path? Would you do it
differently knowing what
you know now?
What do you think
success will look like in
six months? How will you
know you’ve achieved it?
I want to share how I
encountered a similar
situation.
When I was in your
position, I was too risk-
averse. This is how I
started to change that
behavior.
When I had a difficult
boss, this is how I
approached it every day.
I suggested you present
the team’s work at the
annual Sales Kick Off.
I reached out to the
conference organizer to
ask you about speaking at
their event.
I nominated you to
participate in the
company’s Leadership
Development program.

• Enable Autonomy
• Expand the Scope of Responsibility
• Show Their Work Matters
• Delegate Strategically
DEVELOP YOUR TEAM WITH INTENTION
Explore how design
systems can reduce
rework across teams
and businesses to free
you up to work on the
hard problems—but
don’t just talk to
fellow designers
Evaluate how design
operations may
standardize how design
work gets done for your
designers and others—
but don’t just talk to
fellow designers
Complete a Design
Team Charter so your
team maintains an
identity articulating
who you are, what you
do and don’t do
Be prepared to coach
peers and partners
who are less familiar
with design, instead
of your own teams
and directs.

Leveling Up Design Leadership
Companies with high design maturity…are more
likely to see cost savings, revenue gains,
productivity gains, speed to market, and brand
and market position improvements through their
design efforts.
“
What [the McKinsey] survey unambiguously shows,
however, is that the companies with the best
financial returns have combined design and
business leadership through a bold, design-centric
vision clearly embedded in the deliberations of
their top teams.
“
But more importantly than just being a better asset
for business to improve shareholder returns,
elevating design maturity means we as design
leaders are more influential to the business.
We can shape things for the better.

• Measure and drive design performance with

• Break down internal walls between physical,

• Make user-centric design everyone’s
responsibility.
• Strengthen experimentation practices by

• Incorporate more user research and

?What does a profound transformation of
what jobs [design leaders] do look like?
The design industry is in great position to lead
organizations into this fourth industrial revolution to
deliver better, more useful, sustainable products
while generating improved benefits for the business
and our communities because of the methods we
use to innovate and our proximity to the customer
Design thinking—particularly employing
the techniques and philosophy of human-
centered design—as well as systems
thinking approaches…
“
…can help us understand the structures
that guide the world and appreciate how
new technologies may shift systems into
new configurations
“
Being a design leader at this
time of huge technological
c h a n g e c o m e s w i t h a
responsibility to act.
In previous industrial revolutions, too little
effort was made to protect the vulnerable
whether due to unintended consequences,
second or third order impacts, or deliberate
misuse of these new technologies.
1. Systems, not technologies
2. Empower, not determine
3. By design, not default
4. Values as a feature, not a bug

I want to share how I encountered a similar situation. When I was in your position, I was too risk- averse. This is how I started to change that behavior. When I had a difficult boss, this is how I approached it every day. I suggested you present the team’s work at the annual Sales Kick Off. I reached out to the conference organizer to ask you about speaking at their event. I nominated you to participate in the company’s Leadership Development program. “ “ “

  • 61. But more importantly than just being a better asset for business to improve shareholder returns, elevating design maturity means we as design leaders are more influential to the business. We can shape things for the better.
