Design Ops Assembly Seattle Chapter Meetup - April

Wed, Apr 12, 2023

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM PST

We invite you to connect with the design ops community in Seattle! No matter where you're at in your DesignOps journey, this space is for you! Our goal is simple, this is not just another meeting. This is a community-building event. Sometimes this looks like a more structured conversation, and sometimes this looks like a group of like-minded folks hanging out and chatting. During the warmer / drier season in Seattle, we try to get together in person - otherwise we'll host virtually. Join the #local_Seattle chapter Slack group for the most up-to date information on topic for the month and if we're hosting in person or virtually! Can't wait to see you there!

DesignOps Assembly London - Panel Discussion at Wise

Thursday April 27 2023

6:00pm - 9:00pm BST

Following our very first DesignOps conference in London only a few weeks back, we're keen to continue our discussions and share our learnings with the DesignOps community. To do this we have invited 4 incredible women DesignOps leaders to continue the panel discussion questions from the conference around the impact of DesignOps:

Cliona O’Sullivan, Product and Design Strategy Operations Consultant
Inayaili León, Design Program Manager at GitHub
Pat Bertini, Head of Experience Design Operations at TrueLayer
Nikki Godley, Design Chief of Staff at Wise

The panel will be moderated by our very own DesignOps Assembly Co-chapter lead Luke Murphy, Head of Community and Content at Zeroheight.

Whether you are a team of one with a view to scaling your DesignOps practice, or your practice is more mature, it is essential to understand the role and positioning of DesignOps in your organisation.

In this panel discussion, we will dive into the impact DesignOps can have on every business when operating at its optimum, and when its identity, mission, and remit are clearly defined.

Questions that the panelists will be answering include:

What is the impact that DesignOps has on your organisation?
In which areas could DesignOps have a bigger influence?
How do design maturity and overall org maturity influence your DesignOps practice?
How do you plan to scale your DesignOps practice?
What are the challenges faced by your DesignOps practice?

We look forward to seeing you at the Wise London office: Tea Building in Shoreditch, 6th floor.
