Had a very interesting meeting today. This happen couple of times before, and happened again today. I prefer to have decision maker in meeting in early stage of the design process, because we as designer will need to gauge their preference and expectations. Whether its a small project or big project, the same applies. If the ground team are making decisions on concept, colour schemes and design theme, then when we have meeting with then BOD, usually its 100% changes, and we have to go to drawing board again. I dont complain, but way of working in multi-hierarchy corporation cause double work, and unnecessary anxiety. Do you agree? #shahnazinteriors #healthcareinteriors
Thats why the strength of an organisation depends solely on intercommunication between departments, executives, managers and C Suites. Nazrin Shahnaz Peer Mohamed
On the contrary if the decision maker has excellent rapport and a close working relationship with ground team, things can get approved faster
Design is all about changes on paper! Only paper. Adapt international design standards to customer (that slogan customers is always right may not apply in design) to reduce the delta between ground and BOD (?). Each new input is documented with request for change ($). Off course there are a lot more wisdom..lesson learn thru practices.
Decision makers are usually owners and there are many gate keepers before reaching them. Usually it's like giving a garland to a group of monkeys. Just figuratively speaking no reference made.
agreed, happened to me many times

1yfor me now ( in the selling process) I prefer to have decision makers early on board to set all expectations and tailor the process based on their profile and that saves a lot of time and effort But I think for a design task, need to agree to work with them with the #agile methodology to be involved each #sprint and each sprint repeating the same process ( plan, design, develop, test , deploy , review, launch ), as because even though they agreed upon something, they maybe want to change it after the modeling
