Description

The most successful companies today are more than a brand, or retailer, or service. They are digital product organizations, able to build, scale, and launch a variety of new products to meet customer needs on an ongoing basis. As an iconic global retailer IKEA establishes itself into a home furnishing leader in the digital space, it is learning what it takes to build a healthy and efficient product organization. 

In this session, find out how IKEA pivoted its tools and processes to optimize for innovation: by supporting real-time collaboration, maximizing visibility into ongoing work, and making it easier for teams to deliver e-commerce experiences at scale. We’ll discuss topics such as how to spot the signs of an organization in need of a design system, as well as what to focus on to set yourself up for a successful first launch.
