| How to grow great [software] designers: | |
| 1. Systematically identify top designers as early as possible. The best are often not the most experienced. | |
| 2. Assign a career mentor to be responsible for the development of the prospect, and keep a careful career file. | |
| 3. Devise and maintain a career development plan for each prospect, including carefully selected apprenticeships with top designers, episodes of advanced formal education, and short courses, all interspersed with solo design and technical leadership assignments. | |
| 4. Provide opportunities for growing designers to interact and stimulate each other. | |
