The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Accessibility & Inclusivity – Design For All’

The DesignOps Global Conference is for UX researchers, experience designers, interface designers, product owners, service innovators, software developers and business leaders that are defining the way we research, design, and deliver new products and services using operations at scale.

The conference is now in its 3rd year and has established itself as the preeminent global conference for professionals leading and scaling research, design, development and innovation using ‘operations principles’ in the digital product-service continuum.

DAY 1 - June 8 ResearchOps: Researching For Inclusivity

ResearchOps as an emergent set of operations is helping organisations establish data informed strategies using customer and colleague insights to drive decision-making in knowledge centric cultures. Research operations is helping teams scale and deliver truly accessible content, interfaces and services in ways that are appropriate for people.

How do we use insights and socialise data to ensure its usable and actionable? Are we in danger off creating silos in through specialist communities of practice? What are the benefits of generalists versus specialists in teams?

How does Research Operations support accessibility and inclusivity? How do we test to ensure compliance with international standards and WCAG 2.1 Level AA and AAA are met?

What type of practices and processes do we need to adopt to support research? How do we close the loop between Strategy, Research, Design and Development to ensure we design for all?

How can designer ensure we create accessible products and services?

How can design operations support the way people in organisations and enterprises work together to deliver better products, services, experiences and outcomes that are inclusive using data informed approaches in a ‘dataful’ world?

Data-informed decision making in the product-service continuum means team uses evidence to inform and direct their velocity. What role does design intuition and qualitative feedback play?

How do organisations adopt design operations to scale practices and embed design? How does Ops support better internal work flows, facilitate agile ways of working, increase adaptability and streamline processes while making people accountable?

How do we develop and manage natural user interfaces, design systems and content at scale?

What role will automation and AI play in the near future?

DAY 2- June 9 DesignOps: Delivering Accessible Digital Experiences

DAY 3 - June 10: InnovationOps - Change For All

How do we deliver digital transformation within different types of organisations within the private and public sector?

How do we use innovation operations to adapt and build resilience? How can we bring everyone along for the ride and support organisation transition and transform in a world of uncertainty?

What are the methods, processes, mechanics, roles and new competencies we need to learn, understand and adopt to ensure teams can scale innovation within different types of organisations.
