Turning skepticism into collaboration

The project lacked data and trust, and stakeholders wanted to skip validation to save time. I believed in the idea’s potential and used a workshop to prove its value. Beforehand, I met with key leaders to understand their goals and gain early support. During the session, we co-created solutions instead of reviewing slides, which helped rebuild trust and accelerate decisions.

Retrospective

How one workshop became a system for collaboration

I turned the workshop exercise into a reusable template, and the format worked so well that it quickly became a repeatable playbook for other teams. By adopting it, my colleagues were able to align faster, make clearer decisions, and strengthen collaboration across the company.

For the first time, I felt like we truly built something together, not just reviewed another presentation. The approach created space for open discussion, aligned our leadership team around key priorities, and accelerated decisions that had previously stalled. It was a clear example of how design can be a driver of collaboration and progress across the business.
