Hayley Hughes - Trust between teams
Managing people

When product teams aren’t working together, siloes between teams lead to fragmented user experiences. In contrast, a design system team is positioned to stitch together siloes and unify experiences across the organization. After occupying this unique role for nearly a decade within multiple organizations, I’m often asked, “What new approaches can be learned from design system teams, for whom cross-team collaboration is an everyday practice?”
This talk covers organizational barriers to cross-team collaboration, and how to side-step limiting beliefs that hold teams back from working together. It examines real examples of low-trust versus high-trust behaviors and leadership qualities that lead to healthy partnerships. Lastly, it shares strategies you can use to remove your teams’ tunnel vision and explore the spaces beyond their own work.
