Abstract
Sustainability, in a general sense, is the capacity to maintain a certain process or state indefinitely[1]. In this paper, I will discuss 3 phases from survival, growing to sustainable to keep up user-centered design process within organization and develop it in a sustainable way. However, running a design process in the organization level could not just happen without any culture context. This paper proposes the major focuses in these three phases, especially reuse and renewal of user experience design assets internally and externally and illustrates some examples and ideas in context of Chinese culture.
