Summary

For the April 29th edition of our Enterprise Experience Community Call (11am ET), we take a “behind the scenes” look at the creation of the our new conference ‘Design at Scale’. This involves roundtable discussion on “scale”, moderated by Kelly Goto, followed by lightning-style peeks into two speakers’ talks: Surya Vanka, founder/chief designer of Authentic Design & formerly UX Director at Microsoft, on his method of “swarms” to foster creativity Wendy Johansson, Global Product Experience Leader, Amazon  

Key Insights

  • Inclusivity in design education is crucial; creating pathways for all employees to engage in design is vital for enterprise growth.

  • Various viewpoints on scaling design highlight the importance of maintaining quality while rapidly delivering products.

  • The need for effective collaboration tools is rising, especially as hybrid work becomes the norm in design teams.
