Show notes
Alissa Briggs has mastered design leadership. We talked to her during EuroIA in Stockholm where she had held a presentation entitled Race to the Top: Building Skyscrapers & Design Teams that Soar. In this interview Alissa shares her experiences of – and processes for – running, building and managing a design team.
Amongst the things we learn from Alissa are – how important it is to create a shared vision, the usefulness of job ladders and evaluating your team, not being scared about people moving on, having contingency plans, and on-boarding new team members.
