Culture change, tooling, standards, processes, quality, communities, people management, agile and whatever else!

Why this topic matters

Design Ops is a superpower worth sharing. It helps us design winning Design organisations in a way that supports people and drive business value. Yet it's often misunderstood as a low-level, tactical discipline focused on 'the workflow'. Really it is about setting the right conditions for the Design org to succeed. Let's explore this together and benefit from Inma and Laurent's experiences.
