Summary

In this panel, design leaders at JPMorgan will discuss how we focus on people as the key pillar for the work and value we create for the organization. Join us for this interactive conversation with a moderated Q& from the audience.

Key Insights

  • JP Morgan’s design operations team is global and multidisciplinary, supporting over 1,000 applications used by 2,400 developers and 200+ designers.

  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts at JP Morgan focus on authentic representation to foster engagement and belonging within the design team.

  • The future designer must be skilled in data mining, storytelling with data, and balancing technical and cultural/business aspects of design.

  • Design operations has evolved from managing design systems to encompassing people processes, onboarding, retention, and professional development.

  • Scaling design in a large financial institution requires separating operational tasks from hands-on management to increase efficiency and focus.

  • Digital transformation is a multi-year journey that embeds design into the business culturally and operationally rather than treating design as an agency role.

  • Designers from diverse backgrounds, both with financial services experience and fresh perspectives, are valuable to JP Morgan’s design practice.

  • Effective design leadership partners closely with design ops to nurture teams and fuel design success through resource forecasting and reducing friction.

  • User empathy for back-office and complex systems is essential for gaining designer buy-in to manage necessary but less glamorous data inputs.

  • Large organizations are still evolving how to best balance roles between design ops and management, particularly regarding culture building and people care.
