Systems Thinking for Building Resilient Engineering Organizations

Monday Nov 18 / 10:35AM PST, Seacliff ABC

Abstract

The introduction of mainstream LLMs is not only changing the products we build, it's also changing the way we build those products, the way we hire and the way we build our teams. As a leader it’s more important than ever to build and enable a strong engineering culture that allows you to steer your team and technology through all the changes and come out stronger on the other side.

This talk will focus on how to use systems thinking to build a resilient engineering organization. Providing strategies and tactics to reduce chaos, increase predictability, setting your team to take on any industry change, without burning out in the process.
