Using engaging metaphors, historical examples, and foundational behavioral science, the speaker explains why groups fail to collaborate and how intentional design rooted in shared values can shift workplace dynamics. Participants explore the eight core design principles adapted from Ostrom's work and learn how ACT and relational frame theory can support behavior change at both individual and group levels.
