Excerpt: Learn why Warby Parker manages people before devices by using a self-service model and how that led to their IT department better managing their technology.

Description: This session will cover core high-level concepts of a self-service oriented IT department. Learn from my experience, with insights on transitioning from ‘white-glove’ agency service to an efficient, user-centric IT department. In this session we’ll explore how adopting a trusted self-service model can reduce your daily drudge and make both users and sysadmins happier. Expect to leave with actionable ideas such as empowering users to be solution-oriented or reducing your workload by delegating privilege escalation and more easily replenishing IT supplies with Amazon IoT buttons.
