" 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. "

" You should absolutely participate in Slack—if you're missing that, you're missing a key part of our conference. "

" Please put your questions in the Slack thread associated with the talk, not just the general channel, or they’ll get lost. "

" A lot of design ops impact comes from influence, and influence comes from empathy and showing the benefit of what you are putting out. "

" Optimization and using Slack a little better can make us gentler to each other. "

" Design ops should coordinate initiatives, measure impact, and advocate for designer happiness as a business metric - Peter Bosma. "

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

" This is a conference where you can stand up and people will see you do that — which we haven’t had in the past. "

" We made a very intentional choice to build in five minute breaks after every talk based on feedback and experience. "

" All speakers will be present in the #ARgeneral Slack channel to answer your questions. "

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

" You don’t have to take notes; session videos and decks will be shared as soon as possible. "

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

" This is a design ops summit. You’re with your people, we get you and we all want you to do well. "

" We’re obligated to treat each other with kindness and respect. "

" Slack is the way you ask questions to the speakers, and it’s where most of the community interaction happens. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches. They offer really high content very similar to the main conference. "

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

" Our dedicated scribe Shivangi is making sure all the notes are captured so you don't have to worry about it. "

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

" The next big thing will be knowledge management powered by new no-code and integrative tools. "

" We could not have this conference without you all — the curation team relies heavily on audience participation. "

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

" 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. "

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

" 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. "

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

" If you ever feel unsafe or threatened in this virtual community, we want to make sure you’ve got the support you need. "

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

" Yesterday was a lot of fun, but today is going to be even more fun. "

" You don’t need to take notes; Rosenfeld media has sketch note makers creating creative and interactive notes for each talk. "
