Any advice on how to introduce design thinking as a solo UX designer in a company that is not mature in design practice (at all)? Previously had a UX Lead who did that but was indirectly laid off. I realised this gap in the organisation lately as we lack direction and was thinking setting this up would help. I’m not sure how management would take it though.

😭 uggggh a tale as old as time. I don’t have an answer but I do know that companies will be more receptive if you tie it back to profit 🤑. And profit comes from a lot of places (a sales team, correctly allocated marketing resources, even good engineering) but pleasing your users and catering accurately to their needs is one of those ways. UX is making sure your users are having their needs met, and going beyond expectations, so that way you meet their needs in the short term, and help set them up for loyalty in the long term. I’d start there 😢
