Grid Publication
Be More than just a Designer.
GRID Magazine started out of a need to share the knowledge from our internal courses with the wider design group. Today, we have reached over 200 articles and close to 2k subscribed readers. The ambition is to bring you the success stories about scaling the design proposition to your doorstep.

On Topic
Book
Our
Ambition
For centuries, creatives and many disciplines have used a piece of paper and a pencil to visualise ideas – a good enough state that can represent an ambition.
Manifesto
DaS™
Manifeto
To connect, empower, and unify all product designers under a simple Manifesto that easily translates the value of design in the current complex environment.
Matrix
Evaluation Matrix
We explore how to evaluate a team, department, or business to determine its readiness for a design transformation at scale within an organisation.
Designer
Everyone is Designer
We explore the shift of the paradigm where everyone is a designer in large organisations, and how you can navigate through it without losing your soul.
Communication.
Communication has become the key differentiator in business.
Forester Research, reports 62% of internal comms are ineffective.
Effective unilateral communication between business functions directly impacts speed, quality, time to market, and, most importantly, risk reduction. Now more than ever, the key factor of a sustainable business is communication standards.
Communication overload is one of the most significant challenges for today’s design teams.
A straightforward naming convention, a singular location, and a clear engagement strategy can reduce ineffective communication by 43%. This, in simple terms, is a half-day of your productive time.

We share our 20 years of experience in creating, managing and scaling products and services that allow individuals to shape organisations through design.
Technology.
Language models and automation are everywhere.
What is your company's AI strategy, and how does it reflect the creative outputs?
Today's organisation is standing at a pivotal point between adoption and full integration of automated services. The fundamental question here is to understand where these informations are stored and who is using it for what purpose. Design is now in the unique position to help engineers translate the brand IP into a behaviour that defines the company's function.
Technology always plays a vital role in human lives. Now more than ever, technology saves us almost 70% of production time when we empower our teams with automation, algorithms, and proper integration of technology into the design process.

Operation.
Connecting the dots between different functions has always been a challenge.
Is your design team prepared for the immediate handover of code to your engineering team?
We are no longer sizing features for research, creation, design and delivery. Our design foundations enable modern design teams to release a fully tokenised proposition to a dedicated repository, where our engineering colleagues combine it with business functionality. All fully documented, tested and integrated within a fraction of time.
A fully integrated repository that embeds brand themes into the source code enables the team to operate without barriers and informs all parties of changing parameters and their impact on the proposition.

Method.
The DaS™ Method combines well-established processes into one ecosystem.
The advantage lies in precise adoption, allowing all parties to obtain the necessary information.
We combined methods and practices to ensure that the code's velocity, transparency, cost efficiency, creativity, and quality meet customer satisfaction and achieve the desired impact. More importantly, the method must be robust enough to scale from sole trader to corporation.
The core value of the Method is empowering transparency for all contributors. With a daily average of 200 shared prompts, business learning reached a new point of accelerated learning.

Design at Scale™ is defined by three models, which form the Method. Each model operates in a different part of the business and collects and informs parties on design and engineering decisions that have a direct impact on the delivery.
