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.
