Team Onion workshop
The Team Onion is a model to keep teams small, break down silos and create shared responsibility across team boundaries.
It helps to break down silos, surface assumptions, build empathy and facilitate meaningful conversations about the capabilities, time commitment, collaboration and communication patterns needed for teams to be successful.
