Community Productivity After Target’s Costume Crisis
Community productivity is not only about faster meetings, cleaner calendars, or fewer approval steps. Target’s August 2026 Halloween costume controversy showed how work slows down when cultural review fails, trust is damaged, and community concerns are treated after the product has already reached public view.
