Design Thinking: Team Alignment and Product Feasibility Across Cross-Functional Teams

Have you ever experienced cross-functional conflict where agreement on product direction is misaligned?

Well, in this workshop we will run through design thinking exercises intended to be held across cross functional teams and/or users to drive empathy, align teams, and understand what features and components are feasible from the backend and front-end perspective. This workshop can appeal to researchers, sales and product teams that need alignment on concept and ideas in its earlier development stages.

You’ll walk away with techniques on managing conflicting views on product development using problem solving methods that will help teams understand various perspectives and prioritize on product decisions.
