Return on Design Investment: Balancing Quantitative & Qualitative Metrics to Deliver Measurable Value
What makes good design “great”? Better yet, how can you measure the impact of “good design” on business?
The focus of studies on this topic has historically leaned toward the tangible, the known, the quantifiable - the numbers associated with sales.
