The job of doing design

Based on some recent conversations. A way of looking at the job of doing design:

It’s not all designing though, no matter which discipline. The majority of the job of doing design is actually just creating the environment for design to happen:

And when creating the environment, the majority of time is actually spent talking about how:

For a bit more insight, I’d recommend reading Design is a Job by Mike Monteiro.
