Integrate design into every facet of the business

Accelerating creative maturity depends on every department understanding how design serves their specific goals.

Grab your own chair at the leader’s table

Insert yourself into (or at least attend) as many leadership meetings as possible; make them see design as a player.

Check your overages to assess performance

Focus on timely project delivery; typically, only 15-20% of design team projects meet their scheduled deadlines.

Get your hands dirty to help your team

Often leaders can end up “pontificating” from the sidelines. It’s more helpful to have them advocating for their teams.
