Jane Austin
10 Easy Ways to Irritate Your Design Team
Synopsis
How can good design be integrated into your business profitably? Jane will answer this question by considering the ‘anti-problem’. She will share 10 ways designers and business people can guarantee their behaviours and activities will ensure they never see eye-to-eye, their efforts will be wasted and everyone involved will know it is not their fault.
You will probably recognise most of these techniques in action in your own organisation. That is the anti-pattern.
If things are going to change for the better, do the opposite.
