Summary

Join panel moderator Maisee Xiong and Salesforce DesignOps practitioners for a conversation about what it means to build values-driven DesignOps programs, tools and relationships in order to cultivate belonging and prepare our global design teams to deliver their best work. Together we will: Discuss practical ways to weave values into our Ops work Consider what’s necessary to build community and culture for hybrid design teams Understand how effective onboarding tools can help new team members feel welcome Identify the design practices and tools that keep teams and leaders aligned

Key Insights

  • Including physical descriptions during virtual meetings fosters inclusivity for visually impaired team members.

  • Salesforce's V2MOM framework (Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Measures) aligns personal, team, and company values strategically.

  • Prioritizing design Ops initiatives through core values helps focus teams on work that builds connection, clarity, scalability, and kindness.

  • Slack workflows automate routine check-ins and gratitude sharing, enhancing remote team connection with minimal effort.

  • Regular peer recognition practices like 'Shout Out Thursdays' increase community and morale with low implementation effort.

  • Revamped onboarding processes developed with direct new hire input increase engagement and make remote welcome experiences feel supportive and confident.

  • Consistent, transparent communication from leadership, via structured cadences and messaging, builds trust and clarity across distributed teams.

  • Values serve as an anchor during rapid organizational change, helping teams to maintain trust and a cohesive culture.

  • Using design thinking principles such as user interviews and prototyping enhances the effectiveness of internal process improvements.

  • Addressing misalignment around values is best handled through private one-on-ones that explore individual perspectives before attempting realignment.
