]]> 2022-01-10 18:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984547732 I love that we transitioned two years ago to portfolios. I think intra-collaboration is working really well. https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984548295 2022-01-10 18:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984548295 Too easy to get siloed https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984549050 It can be really hard to know what's happening in other teams. What are the wins? What are the learnings?]]> 2022-01-10 18:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984549050 Communicating across teams https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984549402 Monday calls and memos don't capture all the work happening across portfolios. How can we learn more about what's happening on different teams? even on an opt-in basis?]]> 2022-01-10 18:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984549402 Portfolios though mean that cross collaboration is tough. You only really know/collaborate with people on your portfolio. https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984549538 2022-01-10 18:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984549538 Share playful, creative "Day in the Life" pieces so folks can learn more about one another's real day-to-day work and personhood emily845 https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984550054 2022-01-10 18:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984550054 Feeling of connection with my team https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984550707 For the teams I'm part of, I feel really connected and have a great sense of what's going on. It works well for getting work done and it works well for being human and feeling belonging and having fun]]> 2022-01-10 18:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984550707 Professional Collab https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984550773 We have several design partners thinking/building/working on similar ideas and methods without the knowledge of so happening or without clear opportunities to cross-pollinate each others work to be stronger for partners.]]> 2022-01-10 18:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984550773 Monday calls https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984551310 Monday calls feel really big and it's hard to create connectivity and relationships on them and that seems like THE way we all come together right now. ]]> 2022-01-10 18:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984551310 Summary share-outs https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552193 At regular intervals, each portfolio shares some kind of "here's what we did, here's what went well, here's what we learned." Could be in any number of creative storytelling formats.]]> 2022-01-10 18:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552193 Shadow Days emily845 https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552411 Folks can 'shadow' anyone else in the org for a day -- with their permission of course ;) ]]> 2022-01-10 18:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552411 https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552519 Sharing of resources is common amongst "veterans" or people who have worked on various projects together in the past, but outside of that doubling work that has been done already is common]]> 2022-01-10 18:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552519 Connection in Teams https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552677 I think people feel connected within their teams and feel like they are doing meaningful work within them!]]> 2022-01-10 18:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552677 Slack (at high level) https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552715 Given how our team works, I think Slack has been a really helpful way for me to organize my conversations. (I'm sure we could do it better but the tool seems like a pretty good fit)]]> 2022-01-10 18:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984552715 Retreats https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984553481 I think a huge issue for connection has been our inability to be in person over the last two years. Wondering what happens when we can have retreats again AND wondering how many we should have a year. ]]> 2022-01-10 18:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984553481 Growing pains https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984554502 My sense is we haven't updated many of our communication and collaboration routines/structures/etc. in a way that kept up w our growth]]> 2022-01-10 18:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984554502 Collab Days/Jam Sessions https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984555420 opt-in work jam sessions where partners collaborate on similar ideas/methods, open to all. Each one hosted by a partner who knows the work is coming up; specific to something they are building]]> 2022-01-10 18:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984555420 Prioritize the problem to be solved https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984559113 What SPECIFIC information needs to be shared across portfolios? How do we problem-solve around the specific info rather than aiming for the unsustainable goal of sharing everything?]]> 2022-01-10 18:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984559113 Hands on learning (Authentic cross team building opptys) is much richer than "reading an update" passive consuming emily845 https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984563492 2022-01-10 18:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1984563492 Onboarding buddies https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1987117763 In past orgs there was a practice of assigning folks onboarding "buddies" that were outside of their direct team. This person was assigned to check-in an serve as an additional support figure for the new employee while also establishing a bridge across teams/depts. In both of those places I was able to build and sustain deeply meaningful relationships in ways that may not have happened without that intentional structure.]]> 2022-01-11 23:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1987117763 Org chart https://padlet.com/emily845/81hqf8u776n7bdl5/wish/1987118751 I would love to have a more robust version of our org chart with names, portfolios, roles, etc that help new staff get a lay of the land. In my first weeks (months?) I found myself revisiting our org chart constantly as I was meeting people and building my frame of reference to understand who is where and how they all connect.
