October is our favorite month for many reasons — but the main reason is because it’s when we host Distributed, our annual virtual conference. This year, we explored how teams can deeply connect with one another, their work, and their sense of purpose — and got to learn about digital design sprints from Jake Knapp, how Deloitte powers innovation from the inside out, or how to spark team creativity with Columbia University’s Lance Weiler.

Teammates can feel isolated, and silos can form across workstreams, hampering your team’s ability to collaborate. It can be difficult to build efficient workflows that support virtual and hybrid projects. But with these challenges comes a great opportunity for team leaders to reimagine the workplace. And that’s exactly what they’re doing!
