We don’t need a boss, we need a process

Effective design and collaboration require more than just putting skilled individuals together; it requires a shared vision and a well-defined process. Skills such as arguing constructively, trust-building, and knowing when to make decisive choices are essential. Collaboration can be structured similarly to agile methodologies but involves a unique skill set focused on creative processes. By collectively holding a strong vision and continuously refining it, teams can achieve more than dictated single-person decisions.
