Amplify
summary
Argues that design’s unique value is as an amplifying verb not a siloed output and proposes concrete changes: replace uniform two‑week cadences with activity‑specific timing, adopt a tri-trac product life cycle (discovery, delivery, understanding), instrument products from the start with telemetry and dashboards, and run design ops to own hiring procurement and HR so designers get time to design. Gives a workspace template (pods with desks pointed away and a central high‑top) and urges teams to create holes in workflow for exploration and reflection.
