Welcome to the February issue of Designers in Business.
It’s a slightly abridged newsletter this month as I’ve been busy clearing the decks ahead of starting the d.MBA next week. Expect the next edition to include updates from my first few weeks in the new cohort.
I hope you enjoy this month's content. But if you're not finding Designers in Business to be your cup of tea, don't forget that you can unsubscribe using the link in footer of this email.
If you are enjoying the newsletters, I'd love to hear from you! Feel free to drop me a message if you have any feedback or suggestions.
Until next month...Tom Prior

How To Put Faith in DesignArticle by Scott Berkun
If I was picking an article that has resonated with me the most since starting this newsletter, it might just be this one. Scott articulates my own motivation to learn about business (and how to influence it) better than I've managed myself.
That, and the mental gymnastics I contend with regularly when reconciling this current focus away from the 'craft'. A highly recommended read.

Staying on the topic of measuring the impact of content design, this fantastic thread from content strategist Melanie Seibert lists some excellent examples of the ROI (Return On Investment) of this design discipline. I particularly enjoyed listening to Kylie Hansen’s interview from this list, exploring her journey building a content team at Microsoft.
