The New Balance of Things
summary
Team leadership reports 40 designers across nine locations and nine languages, clients like Google Amazon HP and a US Air Force personalization project, and concrete builds: a smart grilling experience and an AEM platform for HP. Meetings “explode” then get condensed into fewer, clearer sessions; caution about real‑time tools like Figma and Adobe XD contrasts with success using Mural for remote workshops. The practical claim is that elevating to altitude (stepping back) yields decisions on budgets, tooling and meeting hygiene.
