Design Effectiveness Survey 2026

1.What's this about?

As strategic design partners, Clearleft works closely with in-house design teams. We want to take the temperature of how designers really feel that design is used and understood within their organisations. To that end we’d love your help in filling out this Design Effectiveness survey. We’ll share all our findings later in 2026, including an advance view for attendees of Leading Design.

If you have a design role of any sort, then please complete the survey as best you can. It should take no more than 7 minutes. None of the questions are mandatory, so feel free to skip any that feel confusing or irrelevant.

The results will be anonymised and completely non–attributable (so please be completely honest with your opinions).

If you are a freelancer or work for an agency/consultancy, please answer all questions based on the organisation for your current assignment.
