Title: Culture Hacking
Proposer: dadi_ingolfsson
Type: Workshop
Duration: 45 minutes
Description: Culture hacking is the systematic development of culture in the workplace. In other words, a deliberate, continuous effort to develop a group's set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that both describe and shape the group. Culture hacking originates with software people and is faithful to the particular ethos of software hackers. It's about modifying culture, instead of software, for personal betterment and the betterment of others. Agile, for example, is one big culture hack because it's a system of values, principles, methods and practices that together greatly influence culture on all levels of the organization. In this talk I'll start with an exploration of Culture hacking and why it's important, but the bulk of the talk will be my company's story of culture hacking over the past five years. I'll go over what all this hacking has taught us about what works and what doesn't at our company, as well as discussing how you can do culture hacking at your own workplace.

Roger: maybe - depends how many other proposals we have in this sort of space
Asti: I'd be interested
