#7 - From Stalled Projects to Forward Motion

​Projects rarely fail in a dramatic way. They slow down quietly. Goals blur, momentum fades, and the real reasons stay unspoken. Every design leader has been there, and every team feels the impact when work drifts instead of moves.

This session brings two viewpoints to the same problem. Sara understands the system wide forces that shape progress. Yaprak works with the human moments that make or break collaboration.

Together they will unpack what truly causes projects to stall and what leaders can do to bring motion back.

The format is a guided Q&A. Expect a mix of honest stories, practical examples, and direct answers to the questions participants never get to ask.

​👉 Why do projects get blocked in the first place.
👉 How do you spot the early signals.
👉 How do you unblock work when the issue is structural versus when it is relational
👉 And what can leaders do to keep teams aligned when the environment keeps shifting.
