Ever feel like the weight of the world on your shoulders as a service design professional... • That you're constantly juggling your actual work with the complexities of organizational processes and structures? • Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Our DesignOps friends are here to lighten that load. • They enable us to focus on what we do best - design – by handling the operational intricacies that so often slow us down, and drain our energy. • I've heard many firsthand stories of how transformative a DesignOps partner can be. But to fully unlock the potential of this partnership, we need to understand what's happening in the ever-evolving DesignOps world. • That's why I'm very excited to have Meredith Black join us on the Show. • Having contributed to building DesignOps teams at major companies like The New York Times, Pinterest, and Figma, and as co-founder of the largest online DesignOps community, Meredith is one of the most influential and well-informed people on the planet when it comes to DesignOps. • In this episode, we dove into questions like: • What does it take to grow a successful DesignOps practice inside your org? • How does the shift towards remote work impact DesignOps strategies? • Why effective DesignOps might initially not look like what you'd expect? • And what's Meredith's secret for quickly gaining momentum and buy-in? • Whether your organization already has an established DesignOps practice or you're just beginning to explore this field, I'm confident that the lessons Meredith shares in this conversation will make you a better service design professional. • With the risk of over-exaggerating, tapping into Meredith's years of hard won wisdom feels a bit like cheating. • So if you want to know how DesignOps can help you deliver your best work, don't miss out on this conversation. • As you'll hear, DesignOps has faced quite some challenges in recent years. But at the same time it's clear that the train has left the station and will continue to move forward. • DesignOps is here to stay and the future is brighter future than ever. • [ 1.
