Designing for Disaster: How Teams Can Thrive in the Cloud
A few months ago, Jeff sat on a couch in the Typekit offices, staring out the window, and wondering if everything their company had been working towards was about to slip through their fingers. How that story ends is interesting (spoiler alert: the company is still going strong), and Jeff will share lessons on how they got through it and why they were ready for it. But beyond that, he’ll look at how you, your team, your clients, or your company can cultivate a culture of making amazing things—not just on the next project, but on everything you work on for the rest of your career.

Great talk. Would also work well in a management conference. A video would be cool.
Clear and thought provoking talk, based on real world experience with a clear message to get through.

Great talk. Looks like the rating does not work on the iPad. (@O’Reilly)
