After the launch of the gov.uk design system, it was quickly copied the world over, showing up in government and private sector organizations around the world. But what if the replicating of this successful design system… is missing the point?
In this talk, we’ll cover the story of the creation of the gov.uk design system – how it was conceived, built, and why it works so well.
But we’ll also go over the real missed lesson of the whole experience – that by copying this system, we’ve failed to learn the lesson of its creation, and are holding back our ability to innovate and design better experiences for all.
