Our founder, Darcie Fitzpatrick, is passionate about putting people at the center of decision making. She has a background of driving strategic cross-functional initiatives and influencing stakeholders, while building stronger teams and culture.
A few places Darcie has designed collaborative experiences for:
“Darcie did a phenomenal job at helping our team work optimally together. She shined as a facilitator and guided activities to understand our unique needs.”
“During our collaboration, Darcie did an excellent job facilitating and leading several design thinking sessions that included cross-functional teams.”
“I can’t say this enough, these sessions have been most productive. Awesome job getting us all together and leaving with some great solutions.”
Why collaboration matters…
U.S. organizations lose a staggering $399 billion every year to unproductive meetings.
A 10-person team alone can accumulate about 300 hours of wasted effort per month. Ugh. We’re here to say, “this doesn’t have to be the norm.”
Collaboration can be designed to have huge impact. Check it out:
