Design is not easy to expand. Design is a system that requires driving elements. It will be just an “empty entity” that must be filled by “something” so its existence is recognized. It has become a huge part of companies to make them stronger and successful in this competitive digital market.
Improving design through work, without setting standards, is a myth. With each new promise, new ideas for color palettes, typography, and patterns emerge in the product, increasing diversity and increasing maintenance costs. Each new employee increases design entropy. There is only one way to stop the growth of this chaos. A commitment to run a design system.
A design system can help by scaling. Design can scale, but it can only scale with design system.
The design system is now very popular. Why? Because it is effective like everyone says it will be. Applying a design system to your business will bring a lot of benefits:
10 Steps to build design system
1. Evaluates current UI inventory and note differences
To start a good design system, it is best if you evaluate what you already have. In this aspect, consider which element will be the best, and which part do you want to replace? Try to find differences and inconsistencies between your products or pages.
A few elements that you need to pay attention are color schemes, how every color is used, Stylistic text choices, photo libraries, icon libraries, UI patterns, page templates, and other graphics.
2. Prepare your team to be onboard
You need a team to implement and manage a design system throughout the product design cycle. For most design systems, teams need front-end designers and developers. Start by identifying the skills you need and then identifying the people who have them.
3. Establish principles and rules for the design system
The design system is a system of values shared throughout the design system. This includes the techniques - CSS in Javascript or something else - that you will use to write your design scheme; How will you distribute the design system; And if you're going to use one of your digital products as a starting point for the system.
4. Color palletes
Color is an important aspect because it can impact all of your work. Decide on the hue and color for each of the colors you use most often, and write down final instructions on how to use them. Of course, this includes your primary brand colors, but also pay attention to your secondary colors. For example, what color is your text? Your link? Special keys? Background?
Be as detailed as possible when writing your code. Check out your own design style to fix any problems you might encounter while testing the color palette in the product UI.
5. Typographic elements
Now, you would want to review and finalize your typographic choices. Design systems can be more technical than static pattern guides, so take advantage of that. Note your preferred text size, spacing, font, etc., as well as any rules about where and when to use it. For example, how big is the section title in your blog post? What fonts do you use for an on-site call-to-action?
Don't ignore subtle details, like line height, font weight, or custom kerning rules.
6. Graphic design assets
The well-designed design system allows you to directly drag and drop visual components into your new prototype. The more graphic design assets you collect in your design system, the faster you can progress your work for future projects.
Don't forget to include any appropriate code snippets or documentation that the developer might need. These small aspects will be useful during the development stage.
Within all your graphic design assets, you will need libraries to implement: icons libraries, photography libraries, illustrations, and branding images.
7. Standardize Other Style Properties
Design decisions also include complementing grid patterns and other characteristics not covered in the previous section, such as spacing. As with the other components of your design system, here, standardization also aims to remove inconsistencies.
8. Build the First Design System Pattern
Don’t focus on building all the patterns in one go, because building design system pattern can be an iterative process. Build it one by one by identifying the best architecture for your pattern library.
9. Run a Sprint Retrospective
Sprints can be a great way to ensure fast learning across teams. All product teams should set up regular retrospective sprints to analyze progress and make necessary improvements.
10. Conclusion
All of the steps mentioned here will provide you with a set of design guidelines that promote a consistent design language. Don't think of a design system as a project. Instead, treat it as an ongoing process that requires rapid iteration.
Pada zaman industri 4.0, banyak tantangan baru yang akan hadir bagi para eksekutif teknologi. Terlebih beradaptasi pada masa pandemi yang tidak pasti. Mulai dari kekurangan keterampilan hingga masalah personal dan data, eksekutif teknologi perlu mengatasi sejumlah tantangan di sepanjang perjalanan digital mereka tahun ini.
Ada 9 tantangan baru yang mungkin akan dialami oleh eksekutif teknologi di tahun 2020.
Gig Economy adalah salah satu hal yang mulai umum terjadi di industri 4.0. Gig economy adalah suatu kondisi pergeseran status pekerja perusahaan dari awalnya pekerja tetap, berubah menjadi pekerja kontrak atau temporer, independent workers, ataupun karyawan tidak tetap.
Gig economy ini merupakan salah satu hal yang dirasa cukup memberikan dampak positif bagi perusahaan. Banyak juga kaum milenial yang mulai menunjukkan ketertarikan kepada gig economy, karena lebih fleksibel.
Namun, tentu Gig economy ini memiliki sisi negatif yang tidak dapat terelakkan. Bagi mereka yang tidak siap untuk bereksplorasi dan berinovasi, hal ini akan mempersulit mereka yang belum tentu memiliki keterampilan yang mumpuni.
Selain dari sisi pekerja, Gig economy ini mengkhawatirkan bagi para eksekutif teknologi karena bersangkutan dengan penjagaan data pribadi dan perusahaan yang sensitif. Bukan hanya dalam faktor keamanan data pribadi dan perusahaan, gig economy juga membuat pencarian sumber daya menjadi sulit.
Dengan berjalannya masa pandemi ini, tata kelola data akan terus berkembang dan menjadi kekhawatiran dalam setiap departemen dalam suatu organisasi. Perlu dibuat peraturan untuk melindungi privasi data secara lengkap dan detail, agar di masa yang serba mobile dan remote ini, privasi data masih dapat terjaga dan dipelihara.
Perusahaan yang mempertimbangkan teknologi canggih seperti AI dan otomatisasi proses robotik (RPA) perlu mempertimbangkan manfaat inovasi dengan manfaat yang dapat dibuktikan untuk bisnis daripada hanya mengadopsi teknologi yang sedang tren. Tidak pernah ada cukup sumber daya untuk melaksanakan setiap ide bagus yang dapat dilakukan oleh bisnis, jadi peta jalan selalu perlu memprioritaskan nilai tambah tertinggi dan ide tingkat upaya terendah, terlepas dari apakah nilai tersebut berasal dari teknologi baru yang canggih atau pemanfaatan kemampuan yang ada.
Dengan ancaman yang semakin banyak dan semakin rumit, ada baiknya meningkatkan sistem keamanan kepada ancaman yang sudah ada, dibanding dengan ancaman baru. Tingkatkan sistem pada ancaman yang memang belum diatasi, baru beranjak untuk menghadapi ancaman-ancaman keamanan yang baru.
Ancaman-ancaman baru di tahun 2020 adalah, para hackers yang akan memulai serangan keamanan dengan strategi baru. Pemanfaatan pihak ketiga akan mungkin menjadi celah ancaman keamanan. Sebuah perusahaan harus terus menerus fokus memantau ancaman keamanan.
Tantangan lainnya yang mungkin muncul adalah ransomware. Ransomware adalah jenis malware yang menuntut tebusan finansial atas ancaman publikasi, penghapusan, atau penanganan data pribadi korban.
Teknologi dan informasi yang dikelola di masa ini harus mengadopsi teknologi, tren, dan pendekatan baru untuk bergerak sesuai kecepatan yang diharapkan. Sulit untuk tetap tepat waktu dan sesuai anggaran. Eksekutif perlu mengelola semua proyek dengan cara yang dapat mengurangi risiko. Mulailah dengan memastikan proyek menggunakan pendekatan modern dan tempatkan semua aktivitas berisiko tinggi di awal siklus proyek.
Dengan begitu, jika sebuah proyek tidak akan berhasil, itu bisa gagal di masa awal dibanding di tahap selanjutnya. Distribusikan inisiatif menjadi proyek-proyek berbeda untuk mengurangi risiko di seluruh organisasi.
Kesenjangan keterampilan yang dimiliki orang-orang di bidang teknologi dan informasi membuat banyak perusahaan mulai beralih ke otomatisasi. Tim IT harus mulai meningkatkan fokus pada otomatisasi untuk membantu mereka benar-benar melakukan lebih banyak hal dengan lebih sedikit dengan mengotomatiskan tugas dan proses yang berulang dan memungkinkan setiap profesional IT untuk mengelola lebih banyak infrastruktur per orang.
Mengembangkan keterampilan baru, menciptakan budaya pembelajaran, dan pengembangan harus dilakukan di masa kini untuk mengatasi tantangan otomatisasi. Merealisasikan ekspektasi tinggi dari pelanggan harus menjadi prioritas eksekutif teknologi.
Strategi cloud-first yang tidak memiliki visi dapat menyebabkan masalah yang menyebabkan organisasi mundur. Hal terbaik yang harus dilakukan perusahaan adalah menganalisis data dan beban kerja yang mereka miliki sebelum mempertimbangkan untuk pindah ke cloud untuk mengetahui biaya dan potensi dampak layanan yang terlibat. Memiliki strategi yang mengutamakan cloud perlu diperiksa untuk memastikan bahwa itu adalah hal yang benar untuk bisnis.
Transformasi digital yang sekarang terus menerus berkembang membutuhkan komitmen berkelanjutan dan perubahan dalam pola pikir dibanding mengandalkan teknologi saja. Kita perlu memahami bagaimana bisnis dapat mendorong tingkat penyesuaian organisasi yang diperlukan untuk memberikan hasil yang berarti dengan cukup cepat untuk mempengaruhi bisnis.
Akan menjadi mudah untuk menggunakan teknologi baru pada suatu masalah, tetapi perubahan yang harus terjadi membutuhkan tingkat dukungan budaya dan organisasi yang dapat menjadi tantangan untuk didorong dan dipertahankan dalam jangka panjang.

Services are generally also known in the form of communication, for example, having a friendly attitude and giving a quick response.
