• Proactive communication . You share your insights & ideas in a timely, compelling fashion, knowing that this informs and invites support.

• Knowing designs value. You know where the value in any design is and are able to clearly articulate this in prioritisation trade-offs.
• Standing your ground . You know when and how to take a firm and persuasive stance, backing your position up with evidence.
