PANEL DISCUSSION

Is your organization constantly short on design staff? You’re not alone. At The Design POP, we frequently hear the question: “Do you know a designer looking for work?” While we don’t facilitate direct hiring between dealerships, we’ve seen a surge in outsourced design options. That’s why we created a platform to connect independent designers with organizations based on their expertise in various design technologies and extensions.

In today’s global economy, many dealerships are realizing the advantages of working with outsourced design partners—whether local, across the country, or overseas. However, questions remain:

• What types of projects are best suited for independent designers?
• How do you justify the cost of outsourcing?
• How can you discuss outsourcing with internal designers without creating tension?
• What’s the best way to manage quality control with external resources?

Join our expert panel for a candid discussion on the evolving role of independent designers and outsourced solutions. Gain insights on balancing internal and external resources, optimizing your team’s workload, and making informed decisions that could transform your approach to design staffing.

Don’t miss this opportunity to rethink your design strategy!
