It’s a well established that culture is the biggest challenge to DevOps adoption. Culture is about behavior and underpinning behavior is neuroscience and how our brains work. To understand our brains and behavior we need to use tools. These tools also help us to plan experiments to make improvements and change behaviors. This is what gives us relationship agility which is essential for adaptability in a DevOps culture.

In this workshop we will use a number of thinking tools for visual communication and collaboration to explore complex concepts, discover solutions to problems and express messages in a simple and effective way. In this workshop you will learn:

• What relationship and emotional agility really means
• Naming behaviors and modifying them - comfortably
• A big dollop of neuroscience
• How to use thinking tools to understand behavior and the brain

Who this works for:

• Anyone practicing DevOps
• Team leads
• DevOps leaders
• Transformation Leads
• Change agents

Pre-Workshop you'll receive:

• A virtual workshop guide and workbook
• A specific invitation to the workshop platforms (Zoom and Mural)

• Creativity
• Decision Making
• Delegation

The workshop is of particular interest to those developing these LoR characteristics at levels 4 through to 7 https://sfia-online.org/en/sfia-7/responsibilities, and those developing or practicing the ‘organisation design and implementation’ (ORDI) skill at levels 5, 6 or 7 https://sfia-online.org/en/sfia-7/skills/organisation-design-and-implementation
