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

" Our curators have been working for months taking presentations from little ideas to something big that advances design ops as practice. "

" Feedback is data, not personal — once you view it that way, it feels less like criticism and more like improvement information. "

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

" The answer to what design ops does is always it depends because the field is still emerging - Zi. "

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

" Slack is where the real party is happening for this conference. "

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

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

" Go meet someone new at this conference and set up a coffee chat next week. "

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

" The theme is clarity. But really I’m gonna say the theme is you — the 613 people from all over the planet. "

" We help each other, support each other, and guide each other through murky and unclear times. "

" OKRs are not one-size-fits-all; you have to shape them based on your organizational context and culture. "

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

" We still don’t know if head of design ops will evolve toward a COO role or some other senior position. "

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

" Our first day’s theme is around establishing and growing design operations. "

" Day three is about keeping people at the center of an expanding enterprise, which is tricky but so important. "

" All of this content would not have been possible without your support and your feedback. "

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