The DesignOps Canvas as created by the fine folks at XPLANE.

A little while ago I kicked off a new offering in my Design Operations (DesignOps) consulting practice that would help any organizations assess their current DesignOps practice and make plans for improving it. This is a great way to start if you already know that you need to do the work.

Today, I’d like to announce an offering to help organizations figure out if they even should be doing this work yet. I call this offering the DesignOps Kickoff. It has 3 basic parts.

  1. A phone call where we introduce ourselves to each other and we plan the next steps, including who should/can participate and what to expect in terms of activities and outcomes. (approx. 30min)
  2. An introduction to the componenents of DesignOps as expressed in my article, The Different Lenses of Design Operations, and an introduction to the DesignOps Canvas we’ll be working on. (approx. 1hr)
  3. Finally, we will run through the DesignOps Canvas itself with the goal of discovering insights that will help us guide your organinization’s planning for how they want to mature their Design Operations. (approx. 4hr)

This total engagement package can be done 100% remotely or can be conducted at a venue of your choice.

Total cost for this package is US$2,000 (not inclusive of any travel expenses if required). There are no obligations or expectations for future engagements.

Ideal organizations for this package are those that are noticing issues in scaling their design practice, having hiring & attrition issues, struggling to gain design buy-in through the organization, or otherwise, have a team-wide understanding that the design team just isn’t able to put its best efforts forward. If this sounds like you, contact me through medium and let’s see if this offering or another might be the right fit for you.
