" Enterprise UX is about fixing broken systems that have a momentum of their own; it’s about improving, not quick solutions. "

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

" When your design organization becomes its own business unit, that’s when you truly scale. "

" Design ops must run as a business, setting KPIs, managing budgets, and delivering measurable value. "

" Our role as DesignOps leaders is to focus on how work gets done, not on the specific design details. "

" Not every Design Ops person is the same, and Design Ops is going to look very different at every company. "

" Design turns a 10 from an engineering team into an 11 or a 12; it turns up the volume much more. "

" We have do’s and don’ts, but approaching it from a rules-based perspective just reduces buy-in. "
