Whether we're designing in-house, at an agency, or consulting, dynamics across interdisciplinary teams are more complex than ever. Without intentional focus and maintenance, a healthy relationship between collaborators gives way to miscommunication and roadblocks. So, when was the last time you checked the pulse of your team's culture? Every team forms a culture, whether it's healthy, disengaged, or straight up toxic. When designing in a bubble isn't an option, we need to cultivate a vulnerable work environment to build trust and align around common goals.

In this workshop, you'll gain tools to empower your team to take ownership of its culture. Come learn to assess cultural health, identify ingrained patterns, and strategize better ways to work together. Leave this workshop ready to lead your design team to interdisciplinary harmony, with the outcomes to prove it.
