Fast-growth tech startups face immense pressure as executives demand increased output from fewer employees. In this context, teams must adapt to a fast-moving landscape with less clarity on roles. There is a critical six-month window for design leaders to influence the direction of design within their organizations. Proactive measures are essential, including presenting a forward-thinking design vision and exploring AI tools for enhanced creativity. The traditional boundaries between design and engineering are dissolving as AI advances, highlighting the importance of well-defined design systems for organization-wide agility.
