This observation was confirmed as well during the workshop we held with a group of senior design managers from leading industries in May this year; something we now refer to as the Black Island Paradox. When we asked two groups to take on a journey (in different contextual settings) the outcomes were remarkable. Within a more negative scenario, both groups were able to:
1. Better set (shared) goals and priorities
2. Better allocate their resources
3. Be more efficient in decision making
4. Function better as a team
5. Come up with more creative ideas and solutions to change the game
So even though the financial crisis at the moment is hitting most companies hard, there are a few positive side-effects to be sought for by design managers, as crises confront us with constraints that may actually lead to better performance and outcomes!
