Send us a textDistributed teams consist of team members who are all individually working from different locations. These locations can be their homes, coffee shops, or co-working spaces, but not shared office spaces. By definition, distributed teams do not have a shared office they can go to.These teams are known for being more agile, productive, and happy. They offer team members more flexibility to create a healthy work-life balance, remove the distractions that come with in-office collaboration, and are often cheaper to run. But they also come with their own challenges!And if there’s one thing we can say is that this new work style has a lot going for them!In this week’s episode of LeanCast, we received Tomomi Sasaki from AQ, to talk about the benefits of operating with distributed teams, its challenges, and how to guide your team away from issues.

Send us a textIn this webinar, Behrad will break down for you the philosophy of design thinking and the tools by which you can conduct a design thinking workshop.Design thinking emphasizes open-mindedness, curiosity, and collaborationDesign thinking is an attempt to learn from the designers’ approach to design challenges. The recurrent shift from divergent to convergent modes of thinking, having a holistic view, engaging in multi-disciplinary teams, the fetish for prototyping, pen, and paper, embracing uncertainty and welcoming ambiguity, putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, trial, and error (iterative mindset), etc… are some of the significant upheavals introduced by design thinking. Welcome to problem-solving 2.0.Interested in joining the podcast?
