Covid has fragmented our teams, workplaces, work rituals, and in some circumstances, our self-confidence. It has also forced us to learn, adapt, and improve our work at a stunningly rapid pace. It’s a great time to take stock of what we learned these past two years, and get ready to apply those lessons in the years to come. In this episode of the Rosenfeld Review, Lou speaks with long-time Design at Scale conference curators Kit Unger and Lada Gorlenko to discuss how the conference presents the perfect opportunity to make that pivot—and make the case for you to be a part of the conference program. Topics discussed include: • How closely-aligned teams can forge ahead despite the challenges Covid has presented • The importance of reconsidering how teams currently support objectives • Learning to work together in new ways that help shift the existing work dynamic into a positive and more powerful frame • Uncovering drivers that allow teams to surpass pre-established boundaries around collaboration • Shifting how we perceive ownership—across all levels—in organizations Operationalizing teams to scale quality Design at Scale 2022 takes place June 8-10, and we’re looking for speakers.
