Design ops at the heart of change: crafting the invisible, human components of teams - Aletheia Délivré (Config 2023)

As humans, we tend to be change-averse. Being a principal change instigator, DesignOps—when it’s represented at all in a design org—is often misunderstood, and seen as a necessary evil. But at the heart of every design organization’s desire to grow and mature, is the need to fundamentally change how it operates. It’s the recognition that our design teams are the real WIP. And our growth, at scale, is inextricably linked to building trust, partnerships and allyships. In this session, Aletheia “humanizes” the hidden work of DesignOps by showing how the practice creates an environment where design teams can thrive and drive impact at their company. Through reflective practice, the session will also discuss practical ways to adopt a DesignOps-minded approach in teams (even without a formal DesignOps title).
