Moderated by Hannah Chaplin, this session will provide new insights and tips on how they manage stakeholders.

There's an art behind happy and efficient teams and it's called DesignOps. Several studies demonstrate that designers spend up to 60% of their time doing non-design work.
But do you know where your team is spending their time instead of working on doing great design? Have you ever thought to measure your teams' inefficiencies?
DesignOps is the facilitating function that supports design teams to scale by improving ways of working, x-functional collaboration and processes so that designers can focus 100% on doing design.
This talk, based on first-hand experiences and learnings, will focus on key best practices to help position DesignOps at the right altitude, identify the right allies, and assess design teams’ performance and opportunities.
