Bitfactor Webinar

The value of investing in Design Systems: a Strategic Perspective

March 18th 2021 14.30 – 16.00

In this webinar we bring people together to discuss the strategic perspective of a Design System and to exchange ideas and solutions on how to build a design system team and get buy-in internally for this investment as well as how to measure and improve the performance of a design system.

The webinar is a sequel to our previous webinar The value of investing in Design Systems, in which we discussed more what Design Systems are and why companies should invest in them.

We will have two inspiring keynote speeches:

Marianna Chekurova, Head of Digital Channels at Telia Finland, will tell us about her experiences in building a business case and getting organisational buy-in for a Design System at Telia.

Antero Meuronen, Design System Owner & Design Lead at OP Financial Group, will present his team’s approach to measure design systems adoption and customers user experience in order to communicate better all benefits of design system e.g. cost savings in product development, decreasing technical dept etc. for all business and/or technical oriented stakeholders.
