​Creating Product Team Alignment (all 100%, not just 70%)

​Ever notice how in aligning the product direction, the majority charge forward and the people who stay silent in the corner are left unheard, unseen, and not valued?

​Or that design and product are sometimes at odds? Or how conflict can derail output?

​Most alignment efforts are focused on getting the majority to agree, but this leaves the minority left behind.

​In this highly interactive workshop, learn and understand the framework behind creating actual 100% alignment (not only the one that unifies cross-functional partners on a product direction) but the kind that also makes you excited to go to work.

​Well in this talk, we’re going to show you the role that trust and connection play on a team, particularly a cross-functional product team in search of alignment. Learn how to create activities that connect teammates–ones whose impact lasts for 4-5 months.

​You will walk away with tangible tactics to use in your next team meeting, readout, roadmapping session, or offsite. 

​This talk will be led by Kendall Wallace, former UX Researcher at Meta, and now CEO and Lead Facilitator at Executive Offsites.
