"If designers want to affect those decisions they must learn to look at the world from strategy executives' perspectives just as they look at the world from their users' perspectives when designing products for them."

Your dead on with this concept, however I would love to hear more about how designers can gain executive perspectives. Often exec's are not openly discussing their priorities, projections or their vision to designers.
What are some action items that designers can take to solve this problem?
