Leadership
Centralized Partnership
![Page 21: Organization Design for Design Organizations - CanUX 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a427fa1a28ab3e3d8b457b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Centralized PartnershipBest of both worlds Designers supported in career, development, and day-to-day. Design teams maintain commitment across a meaningful set of products/features. Yet centralization helps maintain a holistic view across the entire customer experience. Freedom to shift after ‘tours of duty’. Not disrupted by inevitable re-organizations.
![Page 22: Organization Design for Design Organizations - CanUX 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a427fa1a28ab3e3d8b457b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Think in terms of design teams
![Page 23: Organization Design for Design Organizations - CanUX 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a427fa1a28ab3e3d8b457b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Structure of each design team
4-7 folks Singular strong leadership
• Manages down – gets the most and best out of their team • Manages across – collaborates with cross-functional partners • Manages up – presents to executives and other stakeholders
Best organized around business problems, not functions Spread of skills – strategy, planning, research, IxD, IA, visual design, prototyping

Organize for the customer journey
![Page 29: Organization Design for Design Organizations - CanUX 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a427fa1a28ab3e3d8b457b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If you’re designing for this...
Then it is senseless to have marketing and product/UX design on different teams. It’s all the same customer journey.

With a 1) centralized partnership, 2) teams with strong leadership, 3) influencing definition, and 4) a relatively small team, you have leverage.
![Page 38: Organization Design for Design Organizations - CanUX 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a427fa1a28ab3e3d8b457b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Leverage = Power
There’s no reason design can’t be the driving force.
We just need confidence, evidence, and commitment.
