👋 I want to share a little story from my experience working with different companies on our projects. 🎨✨ We all know that creating good design is an art, but what I've learned is that true magic happens when we collaborate as a team. Our design squad can whip up incredible pictures and brainstorm a hundred fascinating ideas for various elements. But here's the kicker: all that effort loses its sparkle if the rest of the team doesn't share the same passion and excitement. 🌟 That's why I believe in the power of synergy between teams working on the same project. Picture this: a bunch of creative minds from different companies coming together, juggling design, development, and marketing. It's like a symphony of talent! 🎶 But for this symphony to harmonize, our values need to converge. We need to be on the same wavelength. Approaching each project with genuine enthusiasm and understanding the pain points and limitations is crucial. And here's the secret sauce: we should all be invested in the success of our collaboration. Trust me, it makes all the difference! 🙌 Just recently, one of our amazing clients took the idea of collaboration to the next level. When selecting developers, he asked us to join calls with them to see if we "vibed" and shared common values. Can you believe that? It was like a task with the code name "feel the chemistry"! 😄 And you know what? It turned out to be an incredibly effective approach! So, my friends, let's remember that collaboration is the heart and soul of exceptional design. By fostering a friendly and cooperative atmosphere, understanding each other's perspectives, and embracing shared visions, we can work wonders together! 🚀 If you've got any stories or tips about collaborating with different companies, I'd love to hear them!

What is collaborative design (and why is it so important)? Design is more than making things look pretty; it’s solving problems as a team.Design is more than making things look pretty; it’s solving problems. Most modern products are highly complex projects that present companies with problems a single person can’t solve on their own. That’s where collaborative design comes in: teamwork leads to better solutions. 💗

Achieving Design Collegiality While Maintaining Psychological Safety: By Pratik Joglekar Creating a collaborative, inclusive atmosphere on a Design team is essential to promoting psychological safety and the mental well-being of all team members. This requires fostering open communication and mutual respect, while developing a harmonious, supportive ambiance that encourages creativity and originality. Cultivating a safe space in which colleagues can freely share their ideas and perspectives and take risks requires offering constructive criticism in a nonjudgmental environment. By cultivating the values of collaboration, you can enhance team dynamics, elevate team morale, and ultimately, propel successful design projects. Read More

The Design Team Lead is not part of the team. That was a very strange thing to discover as I grew into the role. But the team leader becomes more alongside the team, rather than within it. Your role becomes less about preparing screens and more about being a conduit between the team and the business. You become much more of an advocate of the business objectives. Your job is to see the team as a tool, not just as wonderful colleagues. This can be confusing, but it also gives you new tools to solve design problems.

Do you believe in the power of teamwork? Teamwork is the cornerstone of success in any endeavor. When individuals collaborate effectively, they combine their unique strengths and perspectives to achieve common goals. Communication, trust, and mutual support are key elements that foster a cohesive team dynamic. By pooling together diverse talents and resources, teams can tackle complex challenges more efficiently and innovate creatively. Moreover, teamwork cultivates a sense of camaraderie and shared responsibility, motivating team members to strive for excellence. Celebrating achievements together strengthens bonds and boosts morale, reinforcing the team's collective identity. In today's interconnected world, where collaboration is essential for progress, the power of teamwork cannot be overstated. It not only drives organizational success but also fosters personal growth and fulfillment among team members. You can’t walk some path alone, you need people (good people), you need men of value and knowledge. You need to network with great minds. ▪️Do you need a designer to work on your company/brand designs on monthly basis? ▪️Do you need a designer to #redesign #Revamp #revampbanner #linkedinfeaturedesign SEND US A DM, LETS CHAT 💬 ____________________________ #30Daysofconsistencywithisaac #graphicDesigner #videoeditor #linkedinbanner #revamping #creativedesign #growthmindset #viraldesign #dribble #futurism #innovation #linkdein #webdesigner

Product design is a team effort, yet you try to hide it. Team player = mature designer. You work at a crossroads. Clients, users, product managers, engineers, and you — the product designer, in the middle. Collaboration is demanding and unpredictable. You need to understand others' perspectives and have basic knowledge of each field. Often, you land at the center of a project. You know every small detail. You are like a glue for the whole team. You collaborate with others to resolve all problems. Yet, all this is absent in your portfolio, or you try to be seen as a lone hero by design. Beyond a case study intro, you don’t mention collaboration at all. That is a mistake. Instead, you should share your "hero" moments, like: • When you’ve convinced a stubborn stakeholder to change their mind by participating in user testing.    • When you’ve worked with a project manager on improving collaboration processes to improve teamwork.    • When you’ve collaborated with engineers on a new hand-off process. Product design is always a team effort. Show you thrive in collaboration. Show you’re a team player. Show you're a mature designer. P.S. Do you have any tips on working with others? Share your stories 😀

COLLABORATION INDEED MAKES THE DREAM WORK🤩 "In the world of design, collaboration isn't just a buzzword—it's the secret sauce that fuels innovation and drives success. Allow me to share a recent experience that vividly illustrates the transformative power of collaboration. Recently, my Capstone project design team, which I have had the opportunity to lead, embarked on a project to create a psychometric test web app for a client. As we delved into the project, we quickly realized the complexity of the task at hand due to the unconventional features we needed to bring to life. Each team member brought unique perspectives, expertise, and ideas to the table, but we knew that true magic happens when we collaborate across disciplines. We held a brainstorming session with stakeholders, the engineering team, cybersecurity experts, and both front-end and back-end developers. As we exchanged ideas and concepts, something remarkable happened: a synergy emerged. Ideas flowed freely, and barriers dissolved as we collectively envisioned the future of the app. Fast forward a few weeks, and the results spoke for themselves. Thanks to our collaborative efforts, we delivered a web app that exceeded our client's expectations and received positive feedback from users. This experience reaffirmed my belief in the power of collaboration. What are your thoughts on collaboration? Have you achieved better results because of it? If you're seeing my post for the first time, my name is Aderonke and I leverage design thinking to address global challenges. I am Passionate about design, technology, and making a positive impact. Let's connect and collaborate towards a better future!" #DesignCollaboration #Innovation #Teamwork"

Collaboration is a process. On Monday, I posted an activity with this painting that involves students collaborating. Usually, activities based on pair or group work take for granted that students know how to work together. That hasn’t always been my experience. It's important to prepare for the collaboration. The activity suggests 14 students work together to recreate the painting, 15 if you count the little dog. 😊 1. Divide your class into groups of 14 or 15. Tell them they are all going to play a character in the painting. You can exclude some characters to make the scene fit the number of students in the class, but have at least 2 groups. 2. Have each group decide who will play what character. Give them a time limit to finish this. This is their first collaborative task. 3.      Once they have decided what character they are, ask them to work on what they will say. This will involve some pairs, some small groups of about 3, and some individuals, like the man leaning against the railing. Give them a time limit to write what they are going to say. It should be brief and simple; this is not a grammar exercise. 4. Next, ask each group to come together and decide what order they will say their lines. Again, give them a time limit. 5. Now, give each group time to practice their lines, again with a time limit. 6. Finally, have each group act out the scene for the class. Notice that even though the students are acting out the same scene, the dialogues will be different. This helps everyone watch and listen because it’s not simple repetition. Notice also, that each step has a specific, visible goal that must be completed within a time limit before moving on. This gives you, as the teacher, a means to support groups that need it and helps students be successful when they act out their scene. At the end of the lesson, have students discuss how it was to work together. -         How did they help each other?    -         What was most difficult? -         What would they do differently next time? -         How important is it to work together in class? These questions, and any of your own, will help students reflect on the importance of collaboration. On a 1-5, where 1 is very uncomfortable, how comfortable do you feel with group work in class? Enjoy!

The biggest asset of any knowledge worker is the ability to solve problems, the creative process of moving an initial situation towards a desired goal given a limited amount of time and resources. Knowing exactly what the problem is, and what the goal exactly looks like, is a key aspect in the success of such process. Often we get so focused on our trade, that we mistake the tools we use to solve our problems for the problems themselves. Be it writing software, creating a prototype for a user interface, defining a workflow for a process, doing it without a clear purpose doesn't add any impact or value to your project, whatever the project is. How to make sure we're not mistaking the finger for the moon, then? What's the best way to assess the depth and clarity of our understanding? Explain your idea to others. Bounce thoughts with your team mates and colleagues, do public speaking, write a blog post, take notes. Try to do it in the simplest way that yet doesn't oversimplify the topic. The moment you're able to teach a concept, is the moment you actually own it. Only then, start working.

Imagine your workspace transformed into a playground of ideas, where creativity flows freely like a river. 🌊 That's the environment I strive to create every day. From incorporating design thinking exercises into team meetings to setting aside 'innovation hours' for individual exploration, I've made innovation a habit. What do you practice to make your work environment innovative?
