" There’s a big discrepancy between accessible consumer AI and what deep research-driven AI can do - Brittany. "

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

" David Nicholson is our house scribe, a senior UX designer with a passion for enterprise-scale products. "

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

" 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 is about more than surviving; it’s about growth in our practice and relationships. "

" 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. "

" Please stand up and hold each other’s hands, and on three, raise them high and shout Yeah so virtual can hear you. "

" This is the same conference in so many good ways — good ways are that it’s resilient and there’s a certain steadiness. "

" Even though we're virtual, our code of conduct still applies and requires respect and kindness. "

" We are obligated to treat each other with kindness and respect, even though we’re a virtual community. "

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

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

" Please post your questions in the thread associated with each presentation so we can see and address them. "

" If you want to participate in the conference’s general vibe and community, it is essential to join Slack. "

" All the content, including slide decks and sketch notes, will be posted promptly after each session. "

" The world really needs what researchers like you bring to the table. "

" Adjust your conference time zone setting depending on where you are to avoid confusion. "

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

" There’s no need to take notes because session notes, videos, and decks will be shared promptly on the conference site. "

" You gotta write that charter to get clarity with your team. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are content-rich and free to anyone who wants to attend. "

" It seemed just like yesterday that I was talking with Dave Malouf. He dropped that term design ops on me. "

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

" Language matters—make your OKRs user-centric and customer-focused to avoid them feeling like overhead. "

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

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

" People are re-evaluating their lives and careers, which inspired me to start a podcast exploring these shifts. "

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

" If you’re not in our Slack channel, you’re missing out on so many big parts of the party. "

" If you ever feel unsupported or unsafe, please let us know. It is our priority to make sure you feel protected and supported. "

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

" It is my honor and pleasure to welcome each of you to the 2021 Design at Scale Conference. "
