GUIDE WITH STRATEGY

HAVE UNBOUNDED CURIOSITY

THINK END TO END

ENABLE AUTONOMY & TRUST

OUTCOMES OVER OUTPUT

Concentrate on crafting the right solutions effectively and measure success by the impact we make, not just by the volume of work or feature overload.

Cultivate collaboration with groups across the organization to encourage a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming team environment that thrives on different perspectives and experiences.

Align design efforts with long-term goals. Prioritize projects that drive growth and innovation, ensuring every decision contributes to our overarching mission and success.

Encourage a culture where questions are welcomed and exploration is limitless. Sometimes, it’s okay to break the rules or make new ones!

Understand how every component, interaction, and decision within the system influences and is influenced by others. Cause and effect.

Establish design and working conventions that inspire confidence, ensuring users and teams to feel respected and trusted, thereby enhancing satisfaction and engagement for everyone.
