DesignOps
Talk-2024

A local event for designers who talk about design at scale and new product development ​

A brief overview

DesignOps Talk is your go-to place to get at that clarity we all seek—to understand the state of the DesignOps practice and consider the increasingly complex demands being placed upon design practitioners and leaders.​

The event is organized around 3 domains within 6 lectures. Experienced design leaders from our local community will share their organizational knowledge and practices.

Speakers

The event will be held in Bulgarian

Teaching for design impact

How are we preparing design students for field work? What works (and what doesn't) in teaching theory? The generation gap: growing at 144 fps (attention span, data perception speed, values and instincts). Overlapping academic and commercial work is good for your health.
