Abstract
Senior IC roles are often said to be about influence – but what do we mean by influence? And what are the tools that a senior IC can employ to influence individuals and teams within a large organisation? For this talk I’ll share my experience leading a large scale re-architecture, covering the different techniques in my Influence Toolkit and how they helped me to push forward technical decision making on the project.
