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

" Impact curated by France Alana was outstanding. "

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

" The sponsor sessions are equal in quality and quantity as our main programming and completely free for anyone to attend. "

" Our behavior is implicit messaging; we need both explicit and implicit signals to support resilience on teams. "

" 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. "

" There’s no need to take any notes, because we have sketch notes, session notes, recordings available on Rosenfeld Media website. "

" Our speakers prepare and prepare and prepare — they have a dark board with my face on it because they’re so sick of hearing from us. "

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

" We have at least 10 minutes of breaks between each session so you can take in everything. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or bullied, it is so important that you know you can reach out for help. "

" A little color purple to start the day. Good morning. "

" This day is focused on me, my job and my specific day-to-day challenges, not on some invisible finish line or senior title. "

" Manuel Herrera is here to take the burden of note-taking off us, so you can focus on the moment. "

" Sponsor sessions are optional but offer incredibly high content, and they are not sales pitches. "

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

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

" Because this is virtual, we have a digital swag bag with goodies you can access via QR code or URL. "

" You can access the digital swag bag by scanning the QR code or visiting fld.me/cd2022 for cool sponsor offers. "

" Go out the next three days as being part of this conversation rather than simply sitting back and being a consumer of information. "

" You gotta write that charter to get clarity with your team. "

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

" The theme is clarity. But really I’m gonna say the theme is you — the 613 people from all over the planet. "

" Scaling design organizations is the theme because in trying times, we need each other's support. "

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

" Our job as civic designers is to bring government needs and community needs into alignment. "

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

" People are re-evaluating their lives and careers, which inspired me to start a podcast exploring these shifts. "

" Kay Abba is a business and project analyst, UX designer, and project manager who brings multifaceted expertise to our note-taking. "

" Thank you to all our sponsors; this entire conference would not be possible without you. "

" If you’re not in Slack, you’re missing out on the party. "

" All of this content would not have been possible without your support and your feedback. "

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