[Having dinner with an aspiring psychologist who I slyly convinced to make me the center of her study. And why not. Judge it from any angle and you will see why this is clearly a win-win.]
I am a designer. I say, blame the designer. This is a good idea. To explain: to lay blame on someone else is something people naturally want to do. There is little work to achieve this. Identify that as a strong dynamic, a charged area which therefore can have use. If blame can be withstood then you reap its benefits past the blows. Benefits: blame presumes ownership of responsibility. In places where design has been kept to the side, you can think of it as a promotion. A strategy in obtaining greater responsibility in a product development business that has historically been driven by MBA's. Congratulations.
