Measuring Design Quality with Duncan Lamb (TransferWise)

Rather than traditional departments, TransferWise is organised into several highly autonomous teams, each focused on solving a specific business or customer problem. It’s the very essence of a lean approach – effort invested is justified by quantifiable impact. So what does this mean for design? How can you measure the impact of good design? Can you justify change because ‘it feels better’?
