How to create and evaluate frameworks for efficient outcomes

MONDAY, October 14
9:30-10:20 AM CT

In today’s world, efficiency is king. Creative and marketing budgets are being cut, and teams are being downsized with an expectation that quality, timeliness, and profitability will remain stable. Doing more with less has been touted as the rallying cry for the creative industry for years, and it’s getting more real by the day. The most successful organizations and leaders have been proactively optimizing their teams and processes for a variety of reasons: innovation, experimentation, and yes, survival.

It’s time to consider how you operate in frameworks and how you evaluate your efficiency within them regularly. This isn’t about retrospectives or postmortems–we’re talking about going deeper: honestly evaluating your team’s relationships, partnerships, communications, collaboration, and culture to evaluate and optimize operations for improving efficiency.

In this session, you will learn the following:

  • How to think about frameworks and how they can inform better processes

  • A lightweight method for identifying and evaluating issues

  • How to engage everyone from your company’s leadership to your most junior team member in evaluation and change

  • How to brainstorm, prioritize, and roadmap solutions
