Content Introduction

As the importance of user experience for digital products continues to increase, the status of UX design also continues to increase. To maximize design leadership, the scope of design skills also needs to broaden. From my experience transitioning from a product designer to product manager in Meta (Facebook), I observed that the lack of business skills is a critical blocker for many designers to push design-led projects forward. Designers focus on creating user values, whereas business decision-makers care about the business values that come from user values. If designers do not speak the business language, they would not be able to effectively persuade decision-makers.

In this workshop, based on the above skill gap, we will share how we connect designs with business objectives in Meta (Facebook) to drive projects with effective design leadership. We will introduce a “Metric Framework” approach and combine it with specific case studies to demonstrate how it can be used on real products. Workshop participants will have hands-on experience to practice using the framework.
