Read this Article, if you haven’t already…

As I was stumbling around the internet today, I came across an article I’d missed, written by our fellow Overlapper, Chris Conley. Had I read it before coming, I’d have skipped my talk and just pointed you all to his article, since he puts so much of what I’ve been thinking into clearer, smarter terms. This really should be considered a classic piece of thinking in the Overlap.

Quite relevant to Richard Farson and to Luke’s closing question relating to designers moving in the organization is Chris’s last paragraph:

The core competencies of design facilitate
specific and tangible ways of engaging with
problems. These competencies bring new value
to the way in which business teams work. To
foster the broad application of design competence,
designers will need to feel confident in
leaving the designer label behind and accepting
the label of “business manager, strategist, or vice
president.” Of course, this is no big leap for the
best in any discipline; one will find engineers,
accountants, and human resource professionals
at the helms of organizations around the world.
However, at that point they are simply
called leaders.
