My latest book.

Design Management: Create, Develop, and Lead Effective Teams.

Effective design management is vital in these times of complexity and fast change in organizations. Yet, the available literature is insufficient, predominately informative, not research-based, and not actionable.
Design Management, however, fills that gap, offering a unique and comprehensive guide to the behavioural abilities required to create, lead and manage high-performing design teams using a systemic, context-agnostic, and, therefore, repeatable approach.
