Where we hear about:

  • bringing agile ways of working into an old-fashioned industry is tricky but possible
  • focusing on software only will not lead to the desired outcome
  • reducing carbon emissions on a large scale is possible right now

Did you know that the cement & concrete industry is responsible for ~8% of worldwide carbon emissions? And did you know that there are means - known for years already - to reduce this by 40-60%? So why isn’t this done, you might ask.

In this talk, I’ll answer this question and demonstrate how we introduced a machine-learning based product into a very oldschool industry. I will show that simply creating a great software product isn’t enough to really have an impact and how we used agile ideas to accelerate the adoption of low carbon concrete.

As a bonus, you will also learn what makes the 33rd and 34th floors of Amazon’s future Berlin headquarter unique.
