#830: Design Systems + Systems Thinking: How to Build a Design Language Your Whole Organization Can Actually Use

Today, we’re going to talk about Design Systems and Systems Thinking, and specifically, how to build a design language your whole organization can actually use. We’ll explore why so many design systems fail by focusing on components instead of conviction, and how rooting a brand in a core, shared belief allows it to scale without breaking. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome, Jenna Kennedy from The Office of Experience and Chris Taylor from DDN.


From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
