How Do Teams Really Work?
Organizations come in many different shapes, sizes, and ages but one challenge they all share is how to set teams up for success in today’s fast-moving and volatile world. How should teams be structured? How should they collaborate and communicate? What tools, processes, and ways-of-working should they use? How can we help teams to learn and improve?This track will explore how teams in a variety of organizations - from a tech startup with just a handful of employees, to a 180 year old enterprise of over 65,000 - are trying to answer these questions and more. Speakers will share their stories and insights of how teams are really working and being empowered to get stuff done.
