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

" We are obligated to treat each other with kindness and respect as part of this virtual community. "

" Our sponsors make this conference and programming possible, so thank you all so, so much. "

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

" What if we had AI teammates who were on every call and could help moderate, recap, and track time? That future is likely. "

" Co-creating operating models with our teams helps us remain resilient even when things get a little hairy and squirrely. "

" If design ops only serves designers, it risks silos; instead it must apply design thinking across R&D and product teams - Patrizia. "

" Everyone's sitting on the aisle, your right, my left — you gotta scoot over like two seats. "

" We’ve got you covered with notes, sketch notes, slides, and recordings so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. "

" 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. "

" If you have a question for one of the speakers, put it in the specific thread associated with the talk or it will get lost. "

" David Nicholson is the reason why you don’t have to write very fast. "

" We want you to leave feeling like all those missed Slack messages and emails are worth it. "

" Many of you might be the only design ops person in whatever room you’re in for as much as 362 days a year. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe engaging in this community, we want to know about it. "

" David Nicholson is our in-house scribe who produces wonderful sketch notes throughout the conference. "

" You will not be missing out on much if you don’t snag the digital swag bag. "

" You don’t want to miss out on the sponsor sessions — they’re free and high quality, not sales pitches. "

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

" We are still a community even though we are virtual and are obliged to treat each other with kindness and respect. "

" I’m still early on in measuring accessibility impact but tying early bug fixes to ROI is promising. "

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

" Please read our code of conduct. Every participant should feel safe, included, and welcome. "

" You’ll hear tactile guidance on defining ROI. "

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

" Everyone, both speakers and participants, understood the assignment of civic design from day one. "

" This is our third and final day of the design operation Summit 2021. "

" Design ops must learn to advocate for themselves because oftentimes when things go well, no one notices the work behind the scenes. "

" There are no overlaps between sponsor content and main programming, so you never have to choose what to attend. "

" Check out our digital swag bag—our sponsors put a lot of effort into making compelling offers for all of you here today. "

" You are the reason why we are able to have such high quality programming that we do have at this conference this week. "

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

" Sponsor sessions are truly a treat, with no overlaps to the main program and absolutely no sales pitch. "
