Building a Culture of Performance in Organizations
In a world where user experience distinguishes success from failure, organizations are increasingly concerned about how they can attract and retain more users. When digitized products experience performance issues, the stakes are high because engagement rates and sales drop significantly. Today, organizations still waste significant money due to application performance issues. They sprint from one performance failure to the next while technical debt grows. In this presentation, Josef will address pitfalls and successful strategies to transform organizations into performance-first enterprises. After overcoming some challenges that hinder businesses from sharing responsibility for performance, he will present a success story about how performance became part of a major European bank’s DNA.

Same Same But Different : New DevSecOps
Is the prevalence of GenAI an opportunity for DevSecOps to shift left further than we ever imagined?
We are fluid in automation for deployment, test, track & measure.
We are seeing an acceleration in design & prototyping.
And yet we remain critically sensitive to the parts of the SDLC that sit to the left, the requirements that direct our development vector.
So how much further can DevSecOps shift left? And should it?
