Takeaways

Enterprise design work is more about understanding people and maturity levels and way less about the actual design work.
“A good client is one with whom you can work for three years or more, with several workstreams in each account and sustain that.” - Anthony
Protecting what you consider is vital, such as cultural management decisions, which are made to ensure that the company's workforce number remains constant rather than to make money.
It's beneficial for designers working in agencies to have the experience of knowing what it's like to work at their clients' companies.
