Busting Silos with AI Teaming: Rethinking Coordination & Culture

Busting Silos with AI Teaming: Rethinking Coordination and Culture in the Age of Intelligent Collaboration

As AI moves deeper into our workflows, the question isn’t just what it can do, but how we work with it. Most organizations are still using AI as a personal productivity tool—an assistant in the corner, not a teammate in the circle. But what happens when AI becomes part of the collaboration itself? When it helps teams coordinate across silos, visualize complexity, and make systems visible?

In this session, Douglas Ferguson and Erik Skogsberg from Voltage Control will share how new collaborative AI features in Miro are transforming the way teams think, align, and create together. You’ll explore how AI Teaming—the practice of working with AI as an active participant—can enhance coordination in environments where coordination is not the norm. You’ll leave with new language, tools, and mindsets for making AI a catalyst for alignment, learning, and change.

Key Takeaways

1. AI belongs in the collaboration, not outside it.
Teams move faster and align deeper when AI is part of the creative and decision-making process—not a post-processing tool. You’ll see how new Miro AI capabilities enable shared thinking rather than siloed outputs.

2. Coordination is the new leadership muscle.
In most organizations, coordination is accidental or uneven—especially across functions or geographies. We’ll explore how facilitation and AI can intentionally structure coordination where it isn’t natural, making alignment visible and actionable.

3. Systems thinking is essential for transformation.
AI transformations fail when viewed as technology upgrades. We’ll unpack how leaders can take a systems view—understanding interdependencies, incentives, and emergent behaviors—to design sustainable, adaptive change.

4. Breaking silos starts with shared artifacts.
The fastest way to bust silos is to co-create something tangible—a prototype, storyboard, user flow, or draft strategy—that everyone can react to. Miro’s collaborative AI flows make this process immediate and inclusive.

5. Culture is the operating system of AI success.
AI adoption amplifies whatever culture is already present. We’ll discuss how to foster curiosity, psychological safety, and cross-functional collaboration so teams can experiment boldly and learn collectively.
