changing organizational culture - a sweaty usecase
DESCRIPTION
You Thought Implementing Devops Is Hard? Try Building a Shower in Your Workplace This is my ignite talk from devopsdays Tel Aviv, it is about hacking organizational culture, and how a seemingly impossible venture (building a fully functional shower in a place where there is no room or budget for it) can be made possible with a few simple (but determined) steps. It all started when I wanted to encourage people (including myself) to ride their bicycle to work, but needed a place to wash off our sweat after the intensive morning rides. By using this funny use case I’ll demonstrate a few tricks I used that are very relevant to driving change in any organization.TRANSCRIPT
