The Position and Influence of Design Operations in the Future

May 16, 11:50 AM EDT

Opinions on the implications for decision-making today

Experts discuss the future of Design Operations. Design is going through a transformation.  Its position and influence within product organisations is changing.

Led by Tim Gilligan, Jenny Price from IBM, Ian Paradise from Bose, Sasheen Andregg from Intuitive and Carrie Roberts from Kenvue share their views on:

  • Increasingly we see Design organisations reporting into Product.  Is this a trend we expect will continue? What are the implications of the answers for DesignOps?
  • Whether DesignOps can help connect and deepen Design’s relationship to Business, re-articulating Design as a strategic discipline
  • Can DesignOps change the growing perception of Design as a cost centre and build a reputation of ‘Design as a competitive advantage and business driver’?
  • What will and should be the relationship between DesignOps and Design and Product leaders? How about tech and business?
  • What will the relationship with ProductOps look like in a scenario when Design’s position is changing?

A discussion of how perception of the future impact decisions that must be made today. How to be ahead of the game and well-positioned to shape the future of Design Operations in your own organisation.

 

What others say

The Design Operations New York 2023 conference was so rewarding! As a DesignOps "team of 1" practitioner, the opportunity to be among other humans who are in the field was so fulfilling. Also, what I learned in those 8 hours is immeasurable.
