“Winston Churchill said something like, "We create our buildings and then our buildings create us." So we are deeply influenced by our environment. This species didn't evolve except by paying very careful attention to what's going on around us. Because we're not that fast, we don't have good teeth, we had to be pretty attentive to our environment to even survive. Well, we're still those creatures. We're still very attentive to even subtle cues in our environment. Environments tell us how to behave. Others in the environment, reinforce the messages given by the physical space.” -Rob Evans

In this episode of Control the Room, I had the pleasure of speaking with Rob Evans about his experience designing and leading collaborative workshops to help leaders align and mobilize their teams to successfully tackle complex challenges.  He starts with how a his background at studying at the Harvard Divinity School led to management counsulting.  Later, Rob discusses the importance of where we work and how it influences how we work.  We then discuss collaboration at scale.  Listen in for more tips in how to teach design collaboration at scale.
