  1. Engineers run the AI evals. But who decides what “good” actually means? If your criteria only measure what’s easy, your product will optimize for the wrong things. Should designers and PMs own eval criteria? Let’s debate.

  2. We talk a lot about what AI agents should do. But who defines what they’re allowed to do?

  24. Design leaders: Stop asking colleagues to take on more or change. Instead, offer them training, coaching, and support. Empower them to see the value in change themselves—no forcing needed. 💡 #UXLeadership #DesignLeadership

  25. Design, at its core, is user-centric, creative problem solving. A great design leader applies their knowledge and experience to the advantage of their organization, identifying and meeting the needs of its customers. The design leader must understand how the organization works, and have the ability to tie design initiatives to business strategy.

  26. If you are any kind of design leader, consider starting offering a new service called the Strategic User-Driven Project Assessment (SUPA). This will move you from being seen as an implementor to a strategic lead. #DesignLeadership #SUPA boagworld.com/emails/introduci

  27. An #introduction, or reconnection for those who used to follow me at that Bird thing: I’m a professional engineer and designer with a keen interest in #DesignLeadership, #DesignOps, #UX, #InfoDesign, #DataViz, and #Typography. I currently work as the Head of UX at a major financial software company, where I lead the UX research, product design, design operations, technical writing, and localization teams. Before moving to the tech sector, I worked in management consulting, and, prior to that, I was a mechanical and industrial engineer working in aerospace and defence. When I’m not at my day job, I teach design at OCAD, where I’ve been a faculty member for over a decade. I’ve lived in Toronto for most of my adult life but given that my employer is now permanently remote I recently moved to the small town of Stratford, where my partner @kteahen and I have a house which is about to undergo a major renovation. 🤞

  38. The best executives have the ability to chase down a single customer support call, out of the thousands that may occur per day, digest what occurred, and then context shift to another decision which is based on the last twelve months of data. All of it is relevant. All of it is part of a mosaic.
