" We want you to feel included and be able to take advantage of the awesome content and speaker efforts. "

" What is your mission for this design Ops summit? When this conference ends, what do you want to feel? "

" Managing to outcome, not output, lets people own their way of working and leverages their best strengths. "

" The stories you’re gonna hear today really reflect the world we live in, design operations, and resilience. "

" 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. "

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

" 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. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or bullied, please let us know because it’s very important to keep the vibes positive. "

" There is no need to take notes; session notes, sketchnotes, resource lists, videos, and decks will be shared. "

" Our industry is new enough that we get to make design ops whatever we want it to be – that’s an incredible opportunity. "

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