• Decide what must be tested with customers before build and what can ship and be measured after, with success metrics defined up front.
• Make sure journeys use the design system, with market and product variations handled inside it rather than as one-off rebuilds, and plan system contributions like any other project.
• Build trusted partnerships with product and engineering so design shapes what gets built and stays in step through build.
• Hire well, set clear expectations, give direct feedback, and build a growth path for each designer.
• Bring AI tools into the team's design process, model effective and responsible use in your own work, and build that fluency across the team.
