Scott Thanks. I will be discussing this with my execs later today.
I do think that amazing designers with good collaboration skills and the right goals can mitigate the "non-designers making design decisions" problem by offering "ownership" to product teams. Ownership in the sense that they are involved and feel heard, but the designer still manages the design process and outcomes.
