What does a real design led culture look like in day to day product work? At Delivery Hero, the UX team spent nearly 2 years reshaping how they showed up in planning and decision making across the organization. The turning point came with a high stakes project that revealed how much had changed. In this session, Sara shares the concrete practices, process shifts and leadership moves that turned design into a driving force for strategy and execution.
Outcomes
- Turn organisational turbulence and reorgs into drivers of focus and innovation
- Use design led planning to get ahead of product, engineering and data dependencies
- Elevate IC designers into trusted leaders
- Create an experience north star and shared vision that aligns squads and stakeholders
