Case study
'Leading design at scale'

Scaling design, or the function of design, inside an organisation faces a set of challenges and possible outcomes that have a lot to do with design and the operation of it, no matter if it's the organisation's prime directive or a necessary component of it. The practice of design has historically revolved around small groups or organisations and it's now when enterprises around the world are growing the function of design exponentially. What does that mean exactly? And what kind of challenges one faces when doing so?

Jesús will use his pre-pandemic experience as VP Digital Design at RBC to explain what scaling design means and what you have to take care of. He will show you reasons why design operations (DesignOps) are important for helping solve certain classes of problems for evolving and scaling design in organisations, and help you think about what it might mean for a post-pandemic world. His talk will help you think about what challenges you certainly will face when (further) scaling design in your organisation.
