Design Systems at Scale: Adoption, influence, and operating models

Workshop: Elisa Design Summit 2024 — Helsinki, Finland

A 3‑hour, hands‑on session with 60+ global design and engineering leaders focused on solving real‑world adoption inside large, complex organizations.

What we did

  • Mapped each team's system vision and adoption roadblocks

  • Worked through resistance archetypes and stakeholder alignment moves

  • Co-created governance, contribution, and rollout strategies across silos

Outcome

  • Participants left with a practical blueprint — exercises, artifacts, and checklists — to grow adoption, operationalize the platform, and increase influence across product, engineering, and executive teams.
