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

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

" Please put your questions inside of the thread associated with the talk. "

" 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. "

" Today’s theme is resilience expressed through inspiring personal and professional stories. "

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

" If you have questions for the speakers, put them in Slack under the associated thread. "

" We want you to have a great time and feel good about being here — if anything is preventing that, let us know. "

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

" We have at least 10 minutes of breaks between each session so you can take in everything. "

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

" David Nicholson is the reason why you don’t have to write very fast. "

" We want you to leave feeling like all those missed Slack messages and emails are worth it. "

" If any of those adjectives do not apply to how you’re feeling right now, we wanna know. "

" Please be sure to make sure you change your conference itinerary to your local time zone. "

" Today we’re gonna be talking about researchers as organizational change makers. "

" You will not be missing out on much if you don’t snag the digital swag bag. "

" Slack has over 650 people actively talking and sharing experiences right now. "

" Sponsor sessions are completely free and offer content just as valuable as the main program sessions. "

" Civic design is relatively new and spans all kinds of government agencies from federal and national down to tribal and local. "

" I’m still early on in measuring accessibility impact but tying early bug fixes to ROI is promising. "

" Take advantage of the digital swag bag — it’s our way of replicating in-person perks in a virtual world. "

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

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

" Accessibility is a great example where OKRs can unify multiple product and design teams to a non-negotiable standard. "

" The future of civic design will be localized, designed for and by communities rather than dictated top-down. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are super similar to the quality of the main conference session. "

" Design ops has an opportunity to inject human-centeredness into product development to balance business and customer value. "

" If you have any tech issues or need customer support, #deogenerall.help is here to assist you throughout the conference. "

" The cohort experience is one of the highest rated things because you get to meet new people from different companies. "

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

" If you are not on Slack, you are missing out on one of the biggest and most interactive parts of our conference. "

" Sponsor sessions are truly a treat, with no overlaps to the main program and absolutely no sales pitch. "
