Yes, And? — How To Use The Power Of Facilitation To Align Minds And Include People
Tuesday, 16th – 4:00 PM
Within a context of continual change on our teams, projects, and within our work, how do we build trust, design alliances, and navigate conflict? How can we work with teams and within organizations to transform knowledge into action? How do we cultivate a shared understanding about a problem space and align groups to make key decisions?
Facilitation is powerful skill in design. In this talk, we’ll spark within you a love and appreciation for facilitation, demonstrate hands-on ways to try it out, and share with you how facilitation can be practiced to create a more equitable and inclusive culture at work.
In this talk, you will —
