What you’ll take away

The one bet that works

Don't try to change the whole team at once. Pick one person. Build the right conditions around them. Then let what they become do the convincing. The exact method, step by step.

A team that works upstream

Whoever ships the code is upstream. Learn how to move designers from handing things off to making the calls that stick, now that AI has lowered the bar to code.

Work that's priced differently

Design engineering changes what you sell. Now you get measured against hiring, not against other designers. Plus the one sentence that turns the room.
