Dann shares how the most effective FinOps teams create accountability without micromanagement, shorten feedback loops for engineers, and build trust across engineering, finance, and leadership.Whether you’re building a FinOps practice from scratch or trying to move beyond reactive cost optimization, this conversation offers a timeless blueprint for driving real behavior change. Here’s what we talked about:Why trying to “get engineers to take action” is the wrong mental modelHow shortening the cost feedback loop changes engineering behaviorWhy FinOps works best when it creates accountability, not controlHow visibility, trust, and executive sponsorship unlock real impactWhy FinOps is as much about culture and communication as it is about cost 🎧 Subscribe for more FinOps leadership conversations → https://www.finopsinaction.com/ Quote of the Show:“ One of the ways that people can be strong FinOps practitioners is to go into it seeking knowledge.” - Dann BergLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannberg/   BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/dann.fun  Company website: https://www.squarespace.com/  Personal Website: https://dannb.org/ Ways to Tune In:Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f25a9d18-c12f-4ee4-93f5-2aa96e509b55 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finops-in-action/id1790497808 iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/268443483/ Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/finops-in-action-5958339 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3IpjMc3qxDXZAjic5Zq21t Substack: https://finopsinaction.substack.com/ Transistor: finopsinaction.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PointFiveCloudCostEfficiency ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/19z3-eWZl6c0TEQCJZvYXIgN4CxYIhl9_e56I_mkpWs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYTdj/YWRhNmM4YzM4NzQ0/NDVlNzFhYmE2NmVi/Y2ZiZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
