Mark Parker quotes:

Sustainability at Nike means being laser-focused on evolving our business model to deliver profitable growth while leveraging the efficiencies of lean manufacturing, minimizing our environmental impact and using the tools available to us to bring about positive change across our entire supply chain.

The best innovation comes from inclusive work environments that foster diverse ideas, nurture people with diverse talent and backgrounds, and create strong relationships with diverse communities.

The digital and physical worlds are starting to come together more seamlessly - it's only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's coming.

Be a sponge. Curiosity is life. Assumption is death. Look around.

Everything starts with design.

I love design, so it's important for me to have a creative outlet.

Connecting today is a dialogue.

I have sketched since a young age, so there's always been an artistic side, a visual side to my personality.

Designers are by nature more inquisitive, more connected. They dig a little deeper in terms of insights. They turn those insights into innovation. That connection to the consumer is absolutely critical in driving innovation. It's critical that design isn't subjugated to the back room as a short order cook for marketing or for merchandising or sales. It has to be up front.

I just really enjoy the process of working with other talented, creative people. There's great power in bringing diverse points of view together. It can be incredibly stimulating.

The role of design at a company is to allow you to recreate yourself, to allow your company to find a new way of success before the old way fails.

Whatever you fix your eyes on is what you will encourage; fix your eyes on Jesus.
