" Designers need to help users recognize when AI is wrong and what to do about it - Christopher. "

" We talked all about resilience, curated by myself yesterday. "

" David Nicholson is our house scribe, a senior UX designer with a passion for enterprise-scale products. "

" What is your mission for this design Ops summit? When this conference ends, what do you want to feel? "

" A lot of design ops impact comes from influence, and influence comes from empathy and showing the benefit of what you are putting out. "

" Co-creating operating models with our teams helps us remain resilient even when things get a little hairy and squirrely. "

" Trust is fragile with designers; without clear communication, metrics can feel like micromanagement - Dave Malu. "

" If you have questions for the speakers, put them in Slack under the associated thread. "

" This is a conference where you can stand up and people will see you do that — which we haven’t had in the past. "

" The themes this year include transforming century-old industries, startup to enterprise, the outsider’s perspective, and partnering to transform. "

" You don’t have to take notes because we have an incredible note taker capturing everything. "

" We are on our third and final day of Design Ops 2023. "

" You can also reach us quickly by going to help-desk-customer-service for any tech or support issues. "

" I often find myself wondering what I really gained from time away from my desk beyond swag and catching up with colleagues. "

" This is a design ops summit. You’re with your people, we get you and we all want you to do well. "

" There is no need to take notes. Our session notes, resources, videos, and slide decks will all be shared on the website. "

" Today we’re gonna be talking about researchers as organizational change makers. "

" There is no need to take notes over the next few days. We have dedicated sketch notes and session resources. "

" We have session notes, sketch notes, resource lists, videos, and decks — no need to take notes yourself. "

" Even though we are virtual, we are still community and must treat each other with kindness and respect. "

" Join our Slack channels—it’s really where the party is with gifts, jokes, and amazing conversations. "

" Your strengths, even if perceived as weaknesses, can be your superpower. "

" Take advantage of the digital swag bag — it’s our way of replicating in-person perks in a virtual world. "

" It seemed just like yesterday that I was talking with Dave Malouf. He dropped that term design ops on me. "

" I simply cannot wait for you all to see the outstanding presentations they prepared. "

" Language matters—make your OKRs user-centric and customer-focused to avoid them feeling like overhead. "

" Future-facing regulatory structures can avoid post-traumatic innovation by anticipating technology’s social impacts. "

" If you want to take advantage of asking speakers questions and having discussions, join our Slack. "

" Our industry is new enough that we get to make design ops whatever we want it to be – that’s an incredible opportunity. "

" If you want to take part in the gifs, laughs, jokes, questions, and links to resources, join us on #deogenerall Slack channel. "

" If you ever feel unsafe or threatened in this virtual community, we want to make sure you’ve got the support you need. "

" If you ever feel unsupported or unsafe, please let us know. It is our priority to make sure you feel protected and supported. "

" We have many breaks, and sponsor sessions usually take place during those. "

" We have 11 cohorts and 130 people participating in this week’s conference for small group discussions. "
