It’s not that we didn’t have design tools. It’s that we didn’t have the right set of tools that everyone could use quickly. The best thing to do was find a way to change culture at scale.

We very intentionally decided to start a movement. We knew we had to focus on the bright spots, highlight some of our early successes and build this coalition of the willing. It has turned into a self-sustaining program now – it’s pretty incredible.

In the news

The LUMA System is actually helping to change the trajectory of the company. It’s helping us make better decisions at all levels of the company, whether they’re small pivots on any given product or bigger choices we make with leadership of the company. It’s powerful stuff.

Rob Dickins

Chief of Staff, Product Development, Autodesk

What LUMA did is they designed design thinking. … The way that these methods work, they really take everything but the best ideas off the table. It’s all meritocracy, and that’s a huge, huge win when you have so many hard problems to solve.
