Join Tracy Playle to understand how to make your work more collaborative, and how to embed a lasting culture of collaboration into your content and experience design work.
For most content and experience design projects to succeed, we need to collaborate across multiple roles, teams and even departments. Some of those collaborations might be short-lived and time-bound, like in an agile sprint. Meanwhile, other collaborations need to extend over time and be a lasting part of the way in which we work.
Whether the commitment is short or long-term, all successful collaborations require at least four things:
A shared purpose or commitment, including a commitment to collaboration itself
An intentionally designed environment conducive for collaboration
Clear actions, tasks and activities that support collaborative endeavours
The participants to “be” and behave in a way that fuels the collaboration.
In this workshop we’re going to explore what it takes to create that commitment to collaboration, with an emphasis on exploring shared purpose, intentional design, and team “being”. You’ll leave the workshop with some new places to look and experiment in how to make your collaborations more lasting.
