Designing Product Teams with Intention: Crafting your Successful Team

It’s time to give teams the same attention and craft we give our products. In this workshop, Christina will share lessons from top companies in Silicon Valley that apply to anyone who functions as part of a team: equally applicable to managers and peer leaders, these approaches will make your team thrive. Awesome products come from awesome teams, so it’s time to stop doing business as usual: learn how to design a team for maximum impact.

Christina knows how to design and inspire diverse teams to work together, going all out in pursuit of a single, ultra-challenging goal - this course is an intimate opportunity to learn her proven results-forward methodology for product team design. Christina will take you into the factors that inform strategically crafted product teams, and address the core question: why do some product teams break while others thrive?

You will consume many virtual Post-its as you explore:

Cultural tensions facing teams
Cadences of winning product teams
Setting norms, and why they matter
How to use OKRs to help teams define, tackle and realize big goals in a methodical way (leaving nothing to chance!)
Organisational learning and teams
Feedback for individuals and for teams: how regular check-ins can keep you on track to success
