Tribes at ENGIE Digital: when shiny tools don't make it all
summary
ENGIE Digital reorganizes engineers into five named tribes (API, Inner Source, Design, Customer Interfaces, Cloud) and builds an internal catalogue called Digi-Place linking demos, design system and GitHub repos so teams reuse work instead of reinventing it. Tooling adoption triples for pushes and repo activity after workshops, webinars and meetups. The Inner Source tribe publishes patterns, runs peer review and uses GitHub as the collaboration backbone; hiring interest and cross‑company partnerships increase.
