Frameworks to evaluate teamwork and process

MONDAY, October 14
9:30-10:20 AM CT

In today’s world, efficiency is king. Creative and marketing budgets are being cut, and teams are being downsized with an expectation that quality, timeliness, and profitability will remain stable. Doing more with less has been touted as the rallying cry for the creative industry for years, and it’s getting more real by the day. The most successful organizations and leaders have been proactively optimizing their teams and processes for various reasons: innovation, experimentation, and, yes, survival.

It’s time to consider how you operate as a team. This isn’t about retrospectives or postmortems–we’re talking about going deeper: honestly evaluating your team’s relationships, partnerships, communications, collaboration, and culture to assess and optimize operations for improving efficiency.

In this session, you will learn the following:

  • Fundamentals and strategies for positive team communication, collaboration, and culture.

  • Tools and tactics for evaluating your teamwork, uncovering and solving issues before they become problems.

  • A framework for evaluating any process
