" To succeed now, designers must be lifelong learners ready to rethink and re-understand constantly - Christopher. "

" Please put your questions for a specific speaker in the associated thread for the talk. "

" Even though we are virtual, we are still a community and we are obligated to treat each other with dignity and respect. "

" This is a great opportunity. This is a gift to yourself to dig in with other design ops peers and really learn together. "

" Supporting different ways people prefer to engage—like asynchronous workshops or prep time—helps introverts and extroverts contribute equally. "

" Resilience is about more than surviving; it’s about growth in our practice and relationships. "

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

" If these two voices don’t work for you, you can reach out at [email protected]. "

" Sponsors believe in advancing research, and we wouldn’t be here without them. "

" This is the same conference in so many good ways — good ways are that it’s resilient and there’s a certain steadiness. "

" The primary way to convene with other attendees is through our Slack channel. "

" Design Ops plus — what does that mean? You’ll find out very shortly. "

" The program page has a time zone selector so everyone can attend sessions on their local time without confusion. "

" Slack is the heart and soul of this conference, where the most intimate interactions happen. "

" The waters of operations can feel incredibly murky and the path forward may not always be clear. "

" Accessibility is a great example where OKRs can unify multiple product and design teams to a non-negotiable standard. "

" Designers must do the internal work of self-awareness and reflection before shifting power to communities. "

" We have over a thousand members in the #do-general Slack channel, and that’s where the party is at. "

" We still don’t know if head of design ops will evolve toward a COO role or some other senior position. "
