Now more than ever, designers, engineers, and digital product teams are leading the response to their users’—and their business’—changing needs. This new reality is driving many businesses to transform the way they work and adopt new organizational models. But how do companies truly enable these teams to move fast and innovate?

Join Service Design DC & InVision for an exclusive virtual screening of Squads, InVision’s new documentary film, that explores how the most forward-thinking product teams in the world harness cross-functional collaboration, are entrusted with a high degree of autonomy, and drive toward a common goal. You’ll see how companies like Airbnb, Atlassian, Consensys, ING, YouTube, and more empower teams to work better together. And you’ll hear from industry thought leaders, including Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, and Henrik Kniberg, co-creator of Spotify’s squad model, about what makes effective teams work.

After the film, stay for an insightful conversation with leaders from the Washington Metropolitan area.

Service Design DC, home of the SDN DC chapter, is a community of design professionals dedicated to furthering the practice of Service Design in the Washington DC metro area. We believe that Service Design fuels innovation inspired by people and helps create better customer and citizen experiences. As a community led group, our goal is to develop robust programming to bring professionals and enthusiasts together through meetups, salons, service jams, and more. We offer a platform for professional networking, sharing intellectual capital, and thought leadership.
