Once you know the landscape, then you can work on a plan: maybe you need to give more training, maybe you need a broader feedback funnel from DS consumers, maybe you need to align roadmaps, maybe you need better governance. As you implement the plan, you can see how your organization responds and gain fans that will help influence change. #DesignSystems #OrganizationalChange #Influencing #Feedback

Exactly. As a #DesignSystems practitioner, one of the best tools you have is to get to know people on a personal basis. Literally: talk to everyone even tangentially related to the DS, not just the immediate designer and engineer consumers. You will come to understand people's perceptions of the DS in your organization and where it can improve. You can see who cares about the DS's success, and also who holds misconceptions about what value it can provide.
