Career Ladder Co-Creation Workshop for Design Teams

Most career ladders fail not because they're badly written, but because they were written alone. This template gives design leaders a structured 4-phase workshop — Input, Grouping, Voting, Agreement — that moves a design team from individual sticky notes to a co-authored v1.0 career ladder in a single 90-minute session. The equal-vote structure neutralizes power dynamics: every participant gets exactly 2 votes regardless of seniority. The result is a framework everyone trusts because everyone built it. Includes workbook, Kanban review board, calendar view, 7-step facilitation task, and a full process folio.
