Exploring Shared Identity and Purpose in Studios

Insomniac Games has been exploring the idea of how embracing individual identity can lead to greater shared identity and sense of purpose. By acknowledging each person’s unique talents and contributions, creating shared context, and engineering moments of connection, leaders can create teams who feel deeply engaged. How might making tweaks to the way we manage teams lead to greater success on remote and hybrid teams? And how do we leverage diversity to create buy-in?
