Setting up a strategy for Design is one of my top priorities. Knowing where we are today, where we want to go tomorrow, and what role Design will play in that is essential. To establish a strategy for my department, I spend time talking with leadership and teams across the company and customers to understand some of the opportunities. I like to break my strategy into two areas of focus, 1-year; what can we do immediately and 3-year; what will we build up to?
I then work with my team to flush out a high-level roadmap and what the team would like to achieve in Q1. Each quarter at the mid-way mark, I bring my team together to discuss what we want to accomplish in Q2. Below is a snapshot of some of this process.
