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

" Lauren Cantor is our house librarian and has made an outstanding contribution to the conference. "

" Our sponsors make this conference and programming possible, so thank you all so, so much. "

" Please put your questions in the Slack thread associated with the talk, not just the general channel, or they’ll get lost. "

" It’s energy management, not time management — listen to yourself rather than comparing your output to others. "

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

" If design ops only serves designers, it risks silos; instead it must apply design thinking across R&D and product teams - Patrizia. "

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

" We literally want to advance this field by creating space for really good professional conversations to happen. "

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

" There is no overlap between the main program sessions and sponsor sessions. "

" We are on our third and final day of Design Ops 2023. "

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

" This day is focused on me, my job and my specific day-to-day challenges, not on some invisible finish line or senior title. "

" Please read our code of conduct; it’s on every page of our website and includes ways to get help if needed. "

" Cohorts are a super duper fun way to engage with more of our community. "

" All the content, including slide decks and sketch notes, will be posted promptly after each session. "

" 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. "

" Our dedicated scribe Shivangi is making sure all the notes are captured so you don't have to worry about it. "

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

" Don't reinvent the wheel all the time; build on top of what others have built. "

" No need to take notes — our scribe David Nicholson is capturing detailed session notes and insights for you. "

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

" Through the expertise of our speakers and your engagement, we forge the future of our industry. "

" 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. "

" There is no need to take notes; session notes, sketchnotes, resource lists, videos, and decks will be shared. "

" Design ops job descriptions change every three to six months depending on the company’s needs. "

" 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. "

" If you ever feel unsafe or threatened in this virtual community, we want to make sure you’ve got the support you need. "

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

" Yesterday was a lot of fun, but today is going to be even more fun. "

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