Having the right people in the right positions goes a long way in solving problems. Great point Natalie!
Very valid points on the importance of collaboration and open discussion for managing a large and diverse team.
It’s often easy to overlook the massive planning and collaborative efforts that go behind each process in production which were well delved into here. Really appreciated this session!
It’s amazing how the team manages the dynamic demands and the effort put in to explore the possibility of standardization amid the bespoke requirements.
Thanks for this insightful discussion, Natalie!
