Maven - Make the Case: How to Present Design Ideas That Spark Action - jitexsubtra - 10-07-2026 ![]() Maven - Make the Case: How to Present Design Ideas That Spark Action Released 9/2026 By Kai Wong - Medium's Top Design Writer. Educator. MP4 | Video: h264, 1920x1080 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 41 Lessons ( 12h 17m ) | Size: 3.2 GB Stop Making Design Suggestions. Start Making a Case for your Ideas. You know what your organization should fix. Maybe you've watched the same problem burn a team for months. Maybe a competitor solved something you saw first. You confident that it will make a difference. You just have no idea how to say it so anyone acts. You bring it up, and it lands as a suggestion. Suggestions don't get funded. It stays a note. Same thing happens to work you've already done. You say "user friction," leadership hears "fix it later." Nothing changes. This isn't a design problem. It's a translation problem. It's why good ideas collect dust, and why strong designers get passed over while waiting for buy-in. "Selling and advocating for design is 50 to 60% of a designer's job." - Director of UX, Ford Make the Case gives you the frameworks to turn design decisions into the business outcomes leadership acts on, plus AI workflows so your evenings survive it. Built from 13 years presenting design where UX wasn't valued. Pressure-tested with 32 leaders at Target, Ford, Mastercard, Meta, and Amazon. 8 sessions over 4 weeks. 60 minutes each, Mondays and Wednesdays. By the end, you'll be able to make a case for action, whether it's a new design initiative or fixing issues. What you'll learn Get buy-in for your ideas, whether it's about fixing problems or exploring new initiatives Connect your design work to business outcomes Translate "better UX" and "less friction" into the metrics leadership tracks Find the business outcome behind any design decision in five "so what?" steps Use HEART to measure the user behavior that your design is supposed to drive Build the business case for your design work, even without perfect data Define what success looks like with Goals-Signals-Metrics, before you design Map which design screens actually affect the metric you're trying to move Turn a gut feeling about your design into a testable prediction Turn research findings into decisions, not just data Move up the Data Pyramid: from "3/5 users did X" to "users are doing Y, which is hurting metric Z" Shape your finding to match what the PM, executive, or engineer actually needs from you Answer "so what?" before anyone has to ask it Make recommendations leadership can't ignore Generate multiple solution angles before committing to one Estimate impact using benchmarks from comparable projects Rank your hypotheses with ICE to pick Quick Wins over Strategic Bets Structure arguments that hold up under scrutiny Make the business goal the main character, not yourself or the user Build a throughline so every claim in your presentation follows from the last Find the weak spots in your argument before stakeholders do Adapt your argument for the room you're actually in Frame an unrequested idea as a proposal worth exploring, not a demand for resources Use Problem-Agitate-Solution to make your argument feel urgent, not just informative Combine 2-3 methods (poor metrics, competitive gap, consequence of inaction) to land the urgency Who this course is for Designers who want to use data to bypass office politics to start having a bigger impact Designers ready to operate at the strategic level, using evidence to shape what gets built, not just how it looks Designers sitting on an idea nobody asked for, who want a way to pitch it that doesn't sound like overstepping Code: https://rapidgator.net/file/021205c18e2b227a2ac34010b8a37eaa/Make_the_Case_How_to_Present_Design_Ideas_That_Spark_Action.part4.rar.html |
