🔒 💻 Driving AI Adoption Without Breaking Your Engineering Culture

Every engineering organization is racing to adopt AI, but few are ensuring their culture survives the shift. Our rollout took longer than it might have for one reason: we refused to sacrifice the culture that keeps our engineers here.

I'll share what worked for us, from building a volunteer coalition instead of issuing a mandate to prioritizing enablement over decree, along with what we got wrong. Attendees will leave with a practical framework they can adapt, including how we sequenced the first 30/60/90 days, recruited engineers to drive adoption from within, and chose metrics that measure meaningful change rather than activity.
