Collaboration doesn’t just happen. You can’t just wave a magic wand and say “collaborate”. Neither can you throw a pizza party and expect newly formed relationships to support team collaboration. The system, process, and culture must support collaboration for it to be effective.

Lasting and sustainable collaboration in a team is easy to describe: “My team can self-organize”, “My team can productively disagree”, “My team brings new members up to speed quickly”. But these results can be hard to achieve.

In this talk, Kealy Williams and Dan Roman will describe how they infuse systemic collaboration into every facet of their team’s daily work. Regardless of role, specialization, or seniority, attendees will walk away with some simple ideas to try in their teams the next day.
