    "We are not graphic designers. We are problem solvers who happen to do use graphics as a means for providing the solutions and ninjas."

    "Thats why their is an industry push for strategic design, design thinking and business strategy."

    No offense, but most designers don't know the first thing about solving business problems.

    Most of them don't even understand marketing, let alone bringing together finance, operations, engineering, sales, partnerships, or attracting talent and managing teams.

    • of course there's no offense, because most people here are good designers who would make their client's business problem the NUMBER ONE consideration in any jobmonospaced
    • so, no offense, but I have to completely disagree: most "real" designers DO know about solving problems and understand marketing, finance etc.monospaced
    • No, they really don't have a clue.fate
