" AI is not really doing anything better than humans yet; it’s just faster and more efficient - Bria. "

" We are closing out design ops 2024 with innovation curated by the incomparable John Kuda. "

" Sponsor sessions are optional but incredibly high quality content, not sales pitches. "

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

" AI is a great tool for drafting and summarizing, but you have to keep your unique voice because that’s what differentiates you. "

" Today’s theme is resilience expressed through inspiring personal and professional stories. "

" Design ops is not execution or tactical, it’s a leadership role that brings design thinking to the whole organization - Patrizia. "

" Please stop by the Rosenfeld Bookstore to check out signed books and brand new titles. "

" We want you to have a great time and feel good about being here — if anything is preventing that, let us know. "

" Learning is a marathon, not a sprint, especially in the context of online conferences. "

" Today's theme around researchers thriving in the organization is led by Steve Portico. "

" 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. "

" By showing up, you’re doing so not just for yourselves, but for everyone else that’s here. "

" Cohorts are a super duper fun way to engage with more of our community. "

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

" Sponsor sessions are completely free and offer content just as valuable as the main program sessions. "

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

" It’s not just about design; build relationships with HR, product management, sales, and more. "

" Respect and kindness are mandatory; please read our code of conduct to ensure a positive community experience. "

" We help each other, support each other, and guide each other through murky and unclear times. "

" OKRs help highlight intentions to leadership and open up conversations that generate alignment and support. "

" We need to slow down decision-making processes so that ethics and systems thinking scale with project scope. "

" The most highly rated part of the conference every year are the facilitators making the cohorts sing. "

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