Meetup Overview and Benefits
“DevOps transformation is largely about talent, not technology”

The “human” factor is probably the most complex dimension while creating successful transformations in operating models within large organizations. Given the significant changes in how to organize, how to behave, how to engage, and the nature of work that DevOps transformations bring, the muscle memory of having worked for years and decades in a certain format often gets in the way of successful transformations.

DASA is a professional industry body that does research and brings together the experiences of leaders, coaches, and practitioners involved in such transformations to develop guidance and good practices, as well as talent solutions to help organizations prepare, plan and execute their transformation initiatives successfully. While technology and process dimensions are equally important to get right in such transformation initiatives, creating the right environment and right enablers for leaders and employees to support the flow of work from functional silos to an orchestrated team of teams has repeatedly proven to be the most critical enabler.

In this session, Sukhbir will highlight the key challenges organizations need to manage, starting from a new style of leadership development and enablement, to making high-performance teams work, and creating and nurturing a culture of teamwork and knowledge sharing that helps you create long-term success for your business outcomes while increasing employee engagement and retention. We will share some concrete recommendations and templates that have helped other organizations pursue such large-scale changes to their software development and delivery processes.
