Leading Design London 2018

As the move to establish in-house design teams accelerates, it turns out there’s very little common wisdom on what makes for a successful design organisation. Books and presentations tend to focus on process, methods, and tools, leaving a gap of knowledge when it comes to organisational and operational matters.
