" Designers need to help users recognize when AI is wrong and what to do about it - 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. "

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

" Design ops is not execution or tactical, it’s a leadership role that brings design thinking to the whole organization - Patrizia. "

" We have the entire Rosenfeld Media staff on hand to support you throughout this conference. "

" The Slack channel is the fastest way to get help, whether you’re virtual or in person. "

" Enterprise is kind of sexy because big, hairy, hard problems of scale and distribution live at the enterprise. "

" The primary way to convene with other attendees is through our Slack channel. "

" Please put your dropdown or your personal agenda in your local time zone so there’s no ambiguity. "

" A little color purple to start the day. Good morning. "

" Every talk you hear today couldn’t get more personal to our community. "

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

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

" We could not do this conference without our incredible sponsors who spend a lot of effort thinking about ways to enrich our programming. "

" MJ Broadband saves our fingers some pain and some stress because we don’t have to take notes. "

" Because this is virtual, we have a digital swag bag with goodies you can access via QR code or URL. "

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

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

" Just because empathy isn’t always visible at the top doesn’t mean you can’t be the change. "

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

" MJ Broadbent’s sketchnotes are absolutely outstanding. You really do not have to take notes yourself. "

" Scaling design organizations is the theme because in trying times, we need each other's support. "

" Celebrate progress continuously and use OKRs as a learning process to evolve goals and strategies. "

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

" We have over a thousand members in the #do-general Slack channel, and that’s where the party is at. "

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

" Cohorts are one of the most highly rated parts of our conferences every single year, you get to meet somebody new from a different company. "

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

" The cohorts have been a slam dunk hit in our virtual conferences while we’ve been doing them. "

" Please be nice, respect each other, and carry yourself as if you were at your day job. "

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