Advocate for Design in Business Terms

Advocate for Design in Business Terms

Advocate for Design in Business Terms

Design leaders are often expected to influence business decisions without being given a shared language to do so. This course focuses on helping designers and design leaders translate design thinking, quality, and user value into terms that resonate with business stakeholders. The session centres on advocacy, not persuasion tricks. Participants learn how to frame design work in relation to business goals, risk, outcomes, and trade offs, especially in environments where design is still seen as a service rather than a strategic partner.

Who is it for?

This course is for designers and design leaders who regularly need to justify design decisions, influence prioritisation, or explain the value of design to non design stakeholders.
