Audience member from Poland describes a common pattern: everyone leaves a workshop excited and convinced things will change, but a week later momentum dies and 'it will take a year' becomes the refrain. Mariusz Gil: first ask why the workshop was organized — if there is no budget or authority the workshop shouldn't have happened. Otherwise, create a post-workshop plan and assign it to a single empowered change agent whose responsibility is to push outcomes through the organization. When speaking to non-technical decision-makers, translate outcomes into their language (features, time-to-market, missing capabilities) rather than developer quality metrics.
