How we use leverage as a design department
Dec 18, 2022
Why use leverage?
Leverage helps you reduce effort AND increase impact
How we increase leverage:
- Use best available 3rd-party tools
- Build internal tools
- Create processes — usually built around tools – that amplify impact
- Hire top talent other teams overlook (remote work helps!)
How company benefits:
- Revenue grows more quickly
- OpEx grows more slowly
- Employees produce multiples of what they normally could
- Work completed more quickly
- Employees remain engaged and often stay longer
How employees benefit:
- Repetitive tasks get automated (most of us hate robotic work)
- Extra time to focus on more meaningful business problems
- Work feels more meaningful because impact is large and clear
- Get to use latest and greatest software
- Opportunity to work with other top talent
