I&#x27;m a recent hire at IBM Design and leading a design team.<p>nfriendly, your experience is what it&#x27;s like working with a non-IBM Design team. The old way is to have a single designer on something and that person has little to no authority to be the users through the design process. That&#x27;s all changing now.<p>From my understanding, there have only been a couple of hundred products (in the 3 years since IBM Design was created) that have been updated using IBM Design Thinking. There is actually a dedicated design team (min 5 designers) working on each product that is getting attention at that moment in time.<p>But there are over 5000 products that IBM sells, so it&#x27;s going to take a while to get to them all (also assuming some of these will be consolidated as the design cycles address the user&#x27;s needs). There will be a lot of time that passes before all the engineers at IBM (with it&#x27;s 400K+ employees) get to have a dedicated design team on their product.<p>Having been a number of startups and advertising agencies before this, the &quot;design culture&quot; is strong here with a lot of smart folks fighting to turn around a very very big ship.
