Summary

Join the Verizon CX Design Ops team for an interactive session about uncovering your super powers, recognizing your kryptonite and flexing your skills to power a growing, global team.

Key Insights

  • Transforming design ops into CX ops enables strategic support across entire organizations rather than just design.

  • Centralizing and streamlining disparate project intake processes dramatically improves prioritization and onboarding speed.

  • Using advanced tooling to combine multiple data sources allows real-time, informed organizational decision-making.

  • Proactive talent pipeline management and recruitment improvements reduce capacity shortfalls and optimize growth.

  • Adopting new software/hardware at scale requires a deliberate operational playbook and change management strategy.

  • Agility and the ability to pivot quickly ('flight') are critical to adapting operations in dynamic global environments.

  • Clear, consistent knowledge sharing across teams (super intelligence) helps prevent communication gaps and silos.

  • Resilience, endurance, and positive intent compose the 'super strength' needed to drive customer-experience-centric initiatives.

  • Engagement in interactive team discussions about strengths and challenges fosters psychological safety and continuous improvement.

  • Being ‘stronger together’ under a unified vision empowers CX ops teams to overcome operational challenges and prevent burnout.
