From 0 to 500: Building Cohesive Teams in the Fortune 500 Space

Designer, developer, or account manager; junior, senior or director— whatever your title, and whatever your role, the ability to connect meaningfully with your team members is essential to the creation of successful user experience work. But what happens when you throw a Fortune 500 company into the mix?

This talk will take you through the basics of team dynamics (forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning) and how to build collaborative teams that co-create across skill-sets, functions and styles. From setting aside egos and focusing on outcomes to finding the secret keys to mixing personality types and work styles, we’ll set the foundation for successful collaborative work no matter who you work with.

And then, just to up the ante, we’ll put it in the context of high-stakes projects with major multinational clients, finding ways to bring even the stodgiest stakeholders on-board and in-line with the team objectives.
