DaS™ – 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 5k subscribed readers. The ambition is to bring you the success stories about scaling the design proposition to your doorstep.

Our team has collected some of the most practical knowledge on integrating design teams in complex environments. No C-Level jargon, hidden acronyms, or top three suggestions from co-CTOs about design. We work with design leaders who scale the business and inspire future generations.

On Topic
Article
The Agentic Shif.
To survive the next generation of product development, we must move from static documentation to Agentic Design Eco Systems that provide readable context
Article
Cohesion Crisis.
Most corporate leadership teams are currently making a critical mistake by assuming that a comprehensive Figma library is enough to guarantee product cohesion.
Article
Systemic Decisions.
The antidote to subjective drag is to institutionalise an unbiased, clear decision-making framework that democratizes system evolution.
Article
Empathy as Infrastructure
To achieve true operational excellence, corporate leaders must treat their teams as their primary customers and build a flexible ecosystem that scales naturally.
Communication.
Design Leadership comms 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.
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.
Dare to Scale
Design is on it’s pivotal point. Speed, strategy, thinking, craft, complexity, systemisation and the overall integration made design function 20x faster than 30 years ago. What is the next chapter of design?

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.
