Without ROI there’s no design by Sol Mesz
Without design there is no product. But without product there’s no design. That’s why the user experience must be conceived with business goals in mind. But Designers tend to focus on the users, while the Business on KPIs, creating a gap that’s difficult to bridge. Thus, Designers feel excluded from product decisions, and Business areas feel that Designers don’t consider business needs into their designs. This talk shows the role of Design seen from a Product Manager’s perspective, and provides a few ideas that can help Design and Business understand each other in order to improve communication, increase collaboration and avoid friction. These tools will help Designers increase their influence in Product decisions.
