The workplace idiosyncrasies of highly successful companies, like Google, Facebook and Netflix, suggest that culture is the great differentiator. However, despite the tantalizing example set by these innovators, too many companies still manage teams and people as if it were the 1800s, treating workers like substitutable cogs in a factory. Others struggle, copying rituals like "20% time" without getting the benefits they seek.

What if our industry's working cultures changed at the same speed as do the technologies we use to develop our products and services? What would be the Cloud of creative, collaborative work or the equivalents of Microservices and Containers for how we structure teams and manage their interactions?

Industrial Logic keeps itself relevant by striving to answer those questions. By focusing on Modern Agile's four principles, we've found how to shape a culture that prioritizes outcomes, not outputs. We walk the talk and push boundaries by experimenting with concepts and practices like Holacracy and Anzeneering on ourselves, before sharing what really works given your context.

This talk will share what we are learning through these experiments, from the very fundamentals of what a team needs to be successful, like chartering, core protocols, the responsibility principle and psychological safety, to Modern Agile engineering techniques, like continuous deployment and mob programming, that lay the groundwork for creating a space where being awesome becomes inevitable.
