" To succeed now, designers must be lifelong learners ready to rethink and re-understand constantly - Christopher. "

" We are back and we are right on time. Eight o'clock on the dot. "

" We want you to feel included and be able to take advantage of the awesome content and speaker efforts. "

" We have got you covered with sketch notes, resource lists, session notes, videos, and decks all shared ASAP after presentations. "

" Our behavior is implicit messaging; we need both explicit and implicit signals to support resilience on teams. "

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

" Operations is the de-risking activity that creates scalable processes for better outcomes - Theresa. "

" You will have full copies of everything that you experienced today and all the questions. "

" Our speakers prepare and prepare and prepare — they have a dark board with my face on it because they’re so sick of hearing from us. "

" We made a very intentional choice to build in five minute breaks after every talk based on feedback and experience. "

" 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. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or bullied, please let us know because it’s very important to keep the vibes positive. "

" The good vibes you experience are a reflection of the positive collaborative spirit we worked hard to create for you. "

" Manuel Herrera is here to take the burden of note-taking off us, so you can focus on the moment. "

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

" David Nicholson is our in-house scribe who produces wonderful sketch notes throughout the conference. "

" This is absolutely not the time for us to be throwing our hands up in the air and giving up on Research. "

" If you have a question for a speaker, put it in the thread for their talk, not in the general chat. "

" Please put your questions inside the thread specific to the talk so we can keep everything organized. "

" Sponsor sessions are free, not sales pitches, and do not overlap with the main program so anyone can attend. "

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

" Respect and kindness are mandatory; please read our code of conduct to ensure a positive community experience. "

" There’s no need to take notes. All session materials and videos will be shared quickly after presentations. "

" I am so incredibly proud of Dante, Courtney, Olney, and Gonzalo for their care and effort in the curation process. "

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

" How do we know how to evaluate radical participatory design? Has there been a sustained shift in power? "

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

" Knowing your boundaries and skills lets you focus influence into meaningful outcomes rather than spreading too thin. "

" Check out our digital swag bag for some awesome offers from our sponsors – it's like free t-shirts and sweaters but digital. "

" There’s no need to take notes; we’ve got session notes, sketch notes, and a resource list all provided. "

" You are the reason why we are able to have such high quality programming that we do have at this conference this week. "

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

" We have 11 cohorts and 130 people participating in this week’s conference for small group discussions. "
