DESCRIPTION
User experience is a team sport—if any teammate isn’t on-board, the entire company will struggle. In plenty of organizations, the design and development teams will often butt heads over priorities, budget, and creative vision. This can cause conflict that can hurt your products or projects and demoralize the entire company.

Why couldn’t they work together?”

brainstorm together
“People tend to equate creative with
artistic. Like if you can’t draw a picture
of a horse, you’re not creative.
That’s really wrong.”

Organizations today need generalists who
can do all aspects of the job well. Who
can shift between activities, as the job
requires. Specialists are best when they
come out of very strong generalists, who
know how to work across the board.
