The Position and Influence of Design Operations in the Future

1 March, 14:40 PM GMT

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 Silke Bochat, Matt Gottschalk from The Stepstone Group, Tom Moorer from Meta, Heidi Ettanen from H&M, Kim Marchant from J.P. Morgan and May O. Caballero, DesignOps Consultant share their views on:

  • Has Design become a subset of, or support for, Product?  What are the implications of the answers for DesignOps?
  • Whether DesignOps can help connect Design to Business, repositioning 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’?
  • What will and should be the relationship of DesignOps and Design and Product leaders?
  • What will the relationship with ProductOps look like in a scenario where Design’s position is changing?

A discussion of how perceptions 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.
