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

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

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

" I want you to have the best time possible and bring your fullest self to our conference today. "

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

" Resilience means the capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. "

" Design ops is still defining its service offering and must articulate value both internally and to business partners - Zi. "

" You will have full copies of everything that you experienced today and all the questions. "

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

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

" Use your phone camera to scan the QR code on screen and access the digital swag bag. "

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

" If you have any questions for the speakers, you really need to put your question in the thread specific to the talk. "

" Documentation your team will actually use, how to define and maintain a design ops roadmap, AI as a design partner. "

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

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

" Please respect our code of conduct to ensure a welcoming and safe space for all attendees. "

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

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

" Our sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are serious, high content learning opportunities for everyone. "

" 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. "

" There’s no need to take notes. All session materials and videos will be shared quickly after presentations. "

" Each of these speakers shares career defining experiences scaling design organizations large and small. "

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

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

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

" Automation frees us up to do more for the organization, but if overdone, it can strip away the human aspect critical to culture. "

" All session notes and resources will be available within the hour, so you can just relax and absorb the content. "

" Technical difficulties happen, so please use hashtag.deo help within our Slack channel or email for support. "

" The cohorts have been a slam dunk hit in our virtual conferences while we’ve been doing them. "

" The official time zone of this conference is Pacific time. "

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