Equitably Growing Diverse Design Teams
summary
Blink presents a concrete system: a 17-skill skills framework arranged in a pyramid, measured through three lenses and four levels (level 1–4). Workshop exercises use Mural to create spider plot inventories and start a growth plan with specific tasks (examples: lead a practice group, run listening tours, create three “uncomfortable” ideas). Timelines target 6–9 months; one case shows a senior (Matt) progressing to level 4. Framework feeds hiring, onboarding, staffing and makes promotion criteria more equitable.
