Description

About The Event

With pressure mounting for large organizations to continue the pursuit of design and the user, a new set of challenges has arisen. Team construction, prioritization, and communication have never been more important.

Real people talk about things that matter and Funsize is bringing that to the Austin community. In an effort to discuss what’s often kept behind the veil, we’re kicking off our discussion series with a topic that faces hundreds of us every day: Designing for the Enterprise.

Details

Join us to hear from some of Austin's top Design and Experience leaders on how they navigate the sometimes tricky waters of enterprise organizations. The discussion will center around Culture, Career Path and Professional Development as well as Hiring.

  • Culture plays a huge role in the strategic approach of design success. Much of design for Enterprise isn’t about tangible design practices themselves, but rather how to deploy and employ them successfully in a variety of cultures

  • Cross-over functions can blur the lines of accountability. It’s important for design teams to establish what they do and don’t do in order to be successful

  • How do leaders craft a compelling growth path for their design team and help usher junior people into more senior roles

  • How can someone build an internal design center meant to refocus a company that hasn't prioritized design since its inception


Who is this event for

This event is open to the community and is great for people who are:

  • Currently leading a design team within a company
  • Working to position themselves to establish an internal design center
  • Currently working on a design team and wanting to understand more about the environment they're in
  • Looking to enter the design community and join an established company
