Skilling Up: How to Effectively Grow a Cloud Foundry Organization - Steve Greenberg, Resilient Scale

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Enterprise Cloud Foundry adoption hits a skills bottleneck: 64% report shortage and 57% already impacted, so hiring alone fails. The approach is fivefold: start small with measurable, impactful goals (ship a feature in days), control culture (blameless, cross‑functional teams), assemble empathetic learners and diverse talent, pair targeted classroom simulation with on‑the‑job work, and defend metrics that matter — e.g., demo timelines and a two‑hour fix — while pruning counterproductive hires.
