Agile PM Online Roundtable: Dismantling "Us vs. Them"

It's so natural (and, often, so easy!) to identify the "us" people who are part of our tribe/posse/squad and the "them" people who aren't. Interactions with the "them" are strained. Communication is askew. And, sometimes, we don't know who the "them" are, but we know they're out there waiting to make our lives more difficult and impede our success.

At this month's Agile PM Roundtable, we'll rally around the topic of "dismantling us vs. them" using the Lean Coffee facilitation framework. We'll ponder the questions and topics that you bring, as well as questions like:

• Who defines “us”? Who defines “them”? How are they defined?
• What are some effective techniques for creating bridges between “us” and “them”?
• When is it helpful to define “us” and “them”? When is it harmful?
