First Sessions Announced

We are busy developing an exciting agenda for Design Operations Symposium 2023 so keep your eyes peeled for details. Register your interest here to be the first to hear about new sessions and speakers!

In the meantime, check out the first two sessions announced:

Exploring the synergy of AI and DesignOps: How do we unleash its potential?

In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, the convergence of AI and DesignOps has emerged as a game changer. As a discipline that focuses on productivity and team health metrics to deliver business outcomes, DesignOps finds itself at the forefront of this transformative alliance. Will AI liberate teams from repetitive tasks empowering them to focus on creativity, strategy, and innovation?

AI opens unprecedented opportunities, and this panel will discuss the reimagining of DesignOps in this new world including:
What is the role in practice of AI for DesignOps?
With AI automatizing tasks, what value does DesignOps offer?
How should DesignOps adjust, and refocus?
AI poses risks, how do we find the potential?

Please join Patrizia Bertini, and our panel of experts, as they share and discuss how to harness the power of AI and embrace its opportunities.

Prioritizing the Well-Being of DesignOps Professionals

Join Alexandra for an insightful session dedicated to the well-being of DesignOps professionals. As caretakers of the design team, we tirelessly listen to their needs, address obstacles, and enhance their experiences. However, it’s crucial to take a moment and ask ourselves: who takes care of us?

In this talk, we will embark on a journey of self-reflection, inviting DesignOps professionals to pause and evaluate their own mental health and overall well-being. Together, we will explore the current state of our roles, identify areas that require reinforcement, and discover the importance of seeking support within our community.

Alexandra will challenge you to prioritize self-care, foster resilience, and create a healthier, more balanced approach to your DesignOps practice.

With Alexandra Mengoni Leon, Design Operation Chapter Lead, BCP Bank

Crafting a Design-led Process: Empowering Strategy and Solution Realisation

When we claim that we want an organization to be design-led, it does not imply that design is now in charge of everything. It means that design & research directly affect strategy and the realization of solutions.

In this talk Angelos Arnis will explore in detail the makings of a design-led process for a scale-up international organization that builds a SaaS B2B product.

Angelos will cover:

Getting all the ingredients together
Involving the right people
Generating and evaluating feedback
Advocating the adoption of the new process
Shipping the new process and navigating the challenges

This session will inspire participants to embrace a design-led mindset, recognise the influence of design and research on strategy, and navigate the complexities of implementing the process in their organisations.

By understanding the practical aspects and potential challenges, participants will be equipped with valuable insights that drive transformative change and achieve meaningful outcomes.

Join Angelos to gain insights, expand understanding, and engage in a thought-provoking discussion.
