Does your firm isolate designers from important information in effort to protect creativity? If so, you might be cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Arming designers with critical product performance information can help ensure more of your products make it to market rather than onto the “no-go” pile. Most designers want to see their work reach your consumers. In order to achieve that, you need to make sure your design teams are armed with every tool available to create innovative, market-ready designs—and that includes sharing with them critical product performance information and data.

Here are just three ways to empower your design team.

• Give your designers access to trend information from providers like WGSN and StyleSight.
• Educate your designers about your buyer’s customers.
• Share information about failures, including styles that weren’t popular and colors that didn’t work.
