" We are obligated to treat each other with kindness and respect as part of this virtual community. "

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

" What is your mission for this design Ops summit? When this conference ends, what do you want to feel? "

" 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. "

" We can make ourselves and our practice better because of what we’ve learned on our journeys of resilience. "

" Design ops is still defining its service offering and must articulate value both internally and to business partners - Zi. "

" Please stop by the Rosenfeld Bookstore to check out signed books and brand new titles. "

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

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

" Today's theme around researchers thriving in the organization is led by Steve Portico. "

" No need to take notes at this conference. We share notes, sketch notes, videos, and decks very quickly. "

" You can also reach us quickly by going to help-desk-customer-service for any tech or support issues. "

" Practical ops is about getting stuff done because it’s our job to scale the organizational ability to design and amplify the work of designers. "

" Try to walk away from this conference with at least one new design ops buddy. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe engaging in this community, we want to know about it. "

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

" Bria is the bringer of dad jokes and the glue of the conference. "

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

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

" Join our Slack channels—it’s really where the party is with gifts, jokes, and amazing conversations. "

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

" You bring energy that blows me away. I’m so excited by your excitement. "

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

" It's okay to try and mess up your OKRs in the first few quarters and learn from it. "

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

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

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

" 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. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they offer content similar in quality to the main program. "

" Please read our site’s code of conduct — it ensures we all treat each other with kindness and respect. "
