Webinar: Building Communities That Learn- Lessons from the AI Frontier with Gene Kim 

When Gene Kim collaborated with Steve Spear on Wiring the Winning Organization, something unexpected emerged: a deeper understanding of how timeless principles travel across domains—and how communities can accelerate that journey. 

Today, as AI rapidly reshapes software development, Gene is once again on the frontier, applying rigorous thinking to uncharted territory while staying grounded in enduring ideas. 

Join host Tyson Heaton for a candid conversation with Gene Kim—Wall Street Journal bestselling author, 2025 Philip B. Crosby Medal recipient, and founder of the DevOps Enterprise Summit—as he shares hard-won lessons on navigating profound technological change. 

In this session, we’ll explore: 

• What Gene learned with Steve Spear about slowing down to go faster—and why those insights bridge lean manufacturing and modern technology so powerfully 

• How to create communities where practitioners truly teach and elevate one another (lessons from the DevOps Enterprise Summit and beyond) 

• Transferring proven principles into new frontiers: from Wiring the Winning Organization to today’s AI and Vibe Coding experiments 

• Why software is the canary in the coal mine for AI’s broader impact—and what every industry can learn by watching closely now 

• Leading responsibly at the edge: experimenting boldly without succumbing to hype, building real capability, and maintaining integrity 

• Where this is all heading: Gene’s latest thinking on technology, organizations, and what will matter most in the years ahead 

This is not another talk about AI tools or frameworks. This is about how thoughtful leaders and practitioners navigate radical change while remaining anchored in first principles. 

Who should attend: 

• Leaders building learning communities 
• Anyone translating lean, systems, or high-performance thinking into new contexts 
• Practitioners and executives who want to understand AI’s trajectory without getting swept up in the hype 

Reserve your spot for this timely and principle-centered conversation.
