Evil Genius 101

Half Day Afternoon
(1:30 pm-5:00 pm)

Thurgood Marshall West Ballroom

Soft Skills
T10
New!
Thomas A. Limoncelli, Stack Exchange
Description: 

You want to innovate: deploy new technologies such as configuration management (CFEngine, Puppet, Chef), a wiki, or standardized configurations. Your coworkers don't want change. They like it the way things are. Therefore, they consider you evil. However you aren't evil; you just want to make things better.

Who should attend: 

Anyone who wants to improve processes and learn about managing change.

Take back to work: 

The communication, analysis, and persuasion skills you need to make your workplace better.

Topics include: 
  • Helping your coworkers understand and agree to your awesome ideas
  • Convincing your manager about anything—really
  • Turning the most stubborn user into your biggest fan
  • Getting others to trust you so they are more easily convinced
  • Deciding which projects to do when you have more projects than time
  • Making decisions based on data and evidence
  • Driving improvements based on a methodology and planning instead of guessing and luck
