Design at Scale™ – Academy
Empowering YOUR Design Future.
The ultimate goal of every Product Design practitioner is to become an educational enabler, reshaping their organisation through operational excellence and cross-functional integration.
Every designer fights their own battle with their ambitions, vision, beliefs, and philosophy in the context of cultural and operational adjustments. Now more than ever, the design has become a scale game. We make sure you are in the front row.

History
3-in-1
3-hour webinar offering and foundational elements for self-sufficient designers who dare to scale their careers.
From
Every designer starts in a team of one. Research, sketches, branding and prototypes to define the first behaviour that drives the message. Once asked why, we often crumble and depend on data or someone else’s opinion. Why do so many design practitioners outsource their expertise to the merit of the committee or non-design functions?
To
The session reframes the design form from a solid discipline to a collaborative venture without losing the validity and gravity of solely design decisions. The new breed of designers who decide, drive, educate and succeed in scaling design propositions that empower businesses to make greater profits and have a greater impact on society.
Why does the design "Team of One" matter, and why is it the most profound foundation of every successful product team? Find out more in our course.

This session is tailored for designers joining product or service design teams in small and medium organisations.
From
Being the only designer on the product team can be overwhelming. Especially if you report to someone outside the squad, preferably in a different country. A number of designers who shared their stories formed a recognised pattern that questioned the role, responsibilities, manners, behaviour, and navigation in a complex environment. How best can I contribute to my team? How do I gain my colleagues' trust and respect? And how can I leverage the knowledge to become a thought leader?
To
Being recognised as a thought leader, we must understand that design and the experience is in the centre of the business. And with that, architect our way to recognise:
Business lens – helping you understand the overall goal and ambition of any product team, and how the money is made. Design lens – allows you to take the driver's seat and define the experience for your team. Development lens – creates bridges and alliances with the development team to build a high-quality product.
Why does the designer in the product team have very little to say about how design is delivered? Why does outsourcing the control over design diminish designers' powers?

Webinar tailored for middle management and heads of departments building joined products and services in organisations with +50 designers in a joined department striving for operational excellence.
From
We often hear that being the design manager in a large organisation is an exhausting job. We asked: Why is that? We are not heard, we are not understood; businesses take us for granted, or, worse, we just colour things in. Our business does not recognise the value of design, and we are not really a customer-centric company after all. The reality might be quite different – it is all for profit, where time and cost are the only measures of quality.
To
Design delivery, as complex as it could be, is really just about a very simple sequence of tasks that need to be fulfilled in a reasonable way. Therefore, Design leadership is no longer about design. It is about providing transparency and reducing the risk of collaborating units. The core of the Organisation Delivery Model, combined with the Agile and S@S models, provides a foundation for unilateral decision-making within the newly formed Exponential Organisation.

The Challenge.
The majority of today's digital products are delivered with an operational delay of 18-32% due to insufficient design iteration. We ask designers: What value as a product designer do you generate, and what design outcomes enable your business to become a modern exponential organisation?
While others focus on productising themselves through singular contributions, we reshape the design practitioners to build exponential organisations through operational excellence.
Evaluation Matrix.
The Matrix allows every practitioner to evaluate their skills against +1k designers in the industry.
27 simple questions that reshape your focus and set you on the correct design path.
