Summary
"This past summer, 763 responded to a series of questions Peter Merholz posted, meant to reveal just how healthy their UX/Design organizations are. The top finding: Individual designers are fulfilled, but their organizations aren't giving them or their teams the support they need to do their best work. Additionally intriguing: there seems to be a sweet spot for org size, certain departments house UX/Design better than others, and the company type that most supports health has been on the decline for 20 years. Join Peter Merholz as we dig into the research, unpack the paradox, and chart a course toward healthier, more effective design teams. If you care about UX organizations not just surviving, but truly thriving, join us for this discussion."
