Next-level collaboration: The future of content and design | Confab 2015Rebekah Baggs
Imagine a future where siloed departments and legacy workflows don’t stand in our way. Today’s content is complex, interconnected, and needs to be ready for devices we haven’t even dreamed of yet. Tomorrow isn’t going to get any simpler. Successful outcomes demand a new kind of collaboration.
For the past two years, Rebekah has studied how successful teams collaborate and has helped transform the way her team works and produces together. In this session, you’ll hear what she’s learned about making effective cross-discipline collaboration possible, and leave with actionable approaches you can use to unite your team and workflow, too.
In this talk, we discussed:
- What it takes to make effective collaboration possible
- How content strategists play a key role in creating the cross-discipline teams of tomorrow
- Practical techniques you can use to bridge silos, increase productivity, and deliver better project outcomes for everyone
We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. Yet for too many people, the experience of work is demotivating and dehumanizing.
I don’t think it has to be this way, and I’m willing to bet you don’t either.
At Google, we’ve learned a ton about what makes for an enjoyable and productive workplace. We’re not alone – lots of other companies, ranging from grocers (e.g., Wegmans) to textile companies (e.g., the Brandix Group) to Brooklyn delis (e.g., Russ & Daughters), as well as academics and scientists, have learned the same simple truth: there are straightforward things we can do to make work better.
My new book, "Work Rules!", is an attempt to bring this together and offer you practical tools to improve work, no matter what you do. Check out this visual preview of the book and visit www.workrules.net if you’d like to pick up a copy or learn more!

In The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs, business journalist Carmine Gallo describes the seven principles that form the philosophical core of master innovator, Steve Jobs. Although there is only one Steve Jobs, studying and following these principles can inspire creativity and the ability to ‘think different’
in any profession or workplace. Among these principles are the importance of following one’s heart and pursuing one’s passion, as well as the importance of seeking out new experiences. Innovations occur by making connections between unexpected things, and this ability is rooted in a life filled with a wide range
of experiences. Simplicity is also crucial, because anything
which is more complicated than it needs to be will attract a narrower audience. Also important is the ability to communicate the importance and utility of one’s innovation, or tell its story, effectively.

4. Great work leads to improvement and innovation.
It’s creating a difference people love. That’s why
some of the most ingenious everyday
objects are the result of great work.
Here’s our top 5 list of brilliant everyday objects whose
creators took something GOOD and applied a great work
skill to create something GREAT that’s appreciated and
loved by millions of people.
5. These everyday
innovations use
each great work skill:
Ask the right question
See for yourself
Talk to your outer circle
Improve the mix
Deliver the difference
6. 1. Cell phone
In 1973, Marty Cooper was tasked with
inventing a car phone. Instead of diving
right in to his project, he paused to
think and reflect. “Why are we calling
places when we should be calling
people?”heasked.Thatquestionchanged
his parameters and challenged his
preconceptions of what a phone
could be.
7. By asking the right question,
Marty redefined his possibilities, and
the idea of the cell phone was born.
8. 2. Microwave
One day at work, Percy Spencer noticed
that the candy bar in his pocket started
to melt as he walked past a device
emitting microwave beams. And that
gave him an idea. He realized that if
he could just harness the power of the
microwave beam in an enclosed area,
he could heat up food.
9. Percy discovered the heating power of microwaves because
he was in the thick of things, experiencing them firsthand.
And then he continued to see for himself.
The first food he deliberately cooked was popcorn—it was
successful. Then, he tried to cook an egg—it exploded in his
coworker’s face. But because he took the time to see for
himself, Percy created an appliance we now consider a
kitchen staple.
10. 3. Post-It® Notes
Post-It® notes were devised by a series of inventors. First, Spencer
Silver, a 3M employee, discovered a weak, reusable adhesive. He
tried to come up with a useful application for the glue, but none of
his ideas got off the ground until five years later, when he spoke
with Geoff Nicholson. Nicholson invented a sticky board using the
adhesive, and started marketing it. Nicholson then introduced Art
Fry to the adhesive, who decided to use it on the back of slips of
paper to keep his place in his hymnbook. The initial Post-It® note
was born.
11. Silver spoke to Nicholson and Nicholson
involved Fry—without all three of their
ideas, the weak, reusable adhesive that
now gives Post-It® notes their stick may
never have been used successfully. But by
speaking to their outer circle,
gathering ideas, and collaborating, together
these men invented the Post-It note.
12. 4. Soda Bottle
In 2006, Rajendra Gursahaney, a Pepsi
executive, wanted to invent a soda bottle
that used less plastic—a bottle that would
weigh less, cost less, and waste less. But
the process wasn’t easy. He had to hand
test different techniques, build a team of
experts from different industries, and even
relocate to test his creation in Germany
and then in Russia. Finally, he succeeded
in reducing the amount of plastic per soda
bottle by nearly 25%.
13. Rajendra succeeded because he persevered. He
improved the mix
and stuck with his innovation, testing, tweaking, and
perfecting the bottles until they were just right.
He oversaw the implementation of the new soda
bottles, which save PepsiCo nearly $8 million
annually. It was his drive to see the project through &
deliver the difference
that created a greener, leaner bottle.

5. Instagram
When Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger developed an app called
Burbn they were excited to help users share their location with
friends and family wherever they were. As part of sharing one’s
whereabouts, Burbn also gave users the ability to take a photo of
their location and post it online. But after Burbn didn’t take
off—people weren’t using it and found the app too complex with
too many features—they stopped and asked: what was the one
thing about Burbn that delivered a difference? To their surprise,
it was the photo sharing aspect of it. So the two developers started
looking at every app available at the time in the photography category.

1
15. Kevin and Mike’s response to their initial failure was
to look at what they learned and move on from there.
They developed a new app that let users capture a
life moment in a photo, customized its look, write a
caption, and post it. Instagram came to life and a
difference was made
that people truly love.
