Articulating Design Decisions by @tomgreever will change the way designers talk about design. Get it, read it.
BACKGROUND
Your work is now becoming the interface of the entire company like never before and the non-designers have strong opinions about how your work reflects on them.
DESIGN, MORE THAN MANY OTHER DISCIPLES, HAS THE PROPENSITY TO THE DIVISIVE AND POLARISING.
Ç
ISSUE
Because design is subjective and because we don’t always understand how our intuition connects to the problem at hand, we’re unable to adequately tell other people why we did, what we did, and that’s one of our biggest failures.

THE SINGLE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN COMMUNICATION IS THE ILLUSION THAT IT HAS TAKEN PLACE.

DEVELOP EMPATHY FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS FOR ATTEMPTING TO LOOK AT OUR PRODUCT FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE SO THAT WE’RE NO LONGER DEFENSIVE AND PROTECTIVE TO OUR OWN IDEAS.
