" You have to keep AI at arm’s length so you can critique it and not blindly trust it - Christopher. "

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

" Please put your questions inside of the thread associated with the talk. "

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

" When I think about resilience, I think about flexibility, like trees that bend in strong winds instead of breaking — that starts with mindset and communication. "

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

" The pressure in design ops is often delivery-first mindset instead of quality and strategic impact - Dave Malu. "

" Thank you to our sponsors, we could not do this conference without you. "

" 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. "

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

" Sponsors make this conference possible, and we genuinely thank you from the bottom of our hearts. "

" It's okay to try and mess up your OKRs in the first few quarters and learn from it. "

" How do we know how to evaluate radical participatory design? Has there been a sustained shift in power? "

" Lauren Cantor works with companies to create new business strategies by tackling human-centered design. "

" If you have more ops people than designers, you risk chaos and underappreciation of what ops actually delivers. "
