About this Session

Traditional sign-off processes can slow down creativity and decision-making in design teams. In this roundtable discussion, we’ll explore real-world experiences transforming team cultures from top-down approvals to environments built on accountability and trust. Together, we’ll discuss how eliminating sign-offs and empowering teams to own their decisions can boost morale, enhance creativity, and accelerate the design process. Participants are encouraged to share their own challenges and successes, and we’ll collaboratively identify actionable strategies to foster trust, reduce micromanagement, and empower teams to thrive without traditional sign-off barriers.
