Design and innovation teams experience unique challenges as they are constantly asked to confront the status quo around them. The excitement of introducing new products-services into the world also requires working through the tensions caused by uncertain outcomes, complex shifting environments, and internal resistances.

Going beyond methods and tools requires a greater sense of self-awareness, increased emotional intelligence, and a foundation of psychological safety that leads to groundbreaking change. As design shifts from the individual to the team, and from the studio to the boardroom, there is a growing need for leadership and team development as well as new organizational structures in order to afront these challenges.

Through a collaborative and participatory approach, we help develop your capacity to grow as leaders, team members and designers in order to successfully tackle your biggest projects. Some of these challenges we work include dealing with growth, turnover or organizational re-structuring, uncertainty in roles and responsibilities, difficulties in decision-making, team communication or collaboration, creating a collective understanding of the team’s vision or future plans.
