Scaling Design Orgs Rapidly for Long Term Success

Design is earning and maintaining its seat at the table. External pressures like successful product market fit, disruptive competitive threats, macroeconomic factors, or even a global pandemic could force your design organization to scale, and rapidly, at that.  How do you adapt while also setting your team up for long term success? In this session we will focus on a framework for helping any design org choose the right path forward or even course correct if you are already mid-flight.  Christina will show you how to identify aspects of your culture, processes and operations that made your team who it is. She’ll show you how to continue to foster them, while also identifying new complementary elements that will propel your team towards a new successful future at scale with engaged, happy and high-performing designers.
