Speaker: Nigel Kersten - Tech Leader
🇬🇧 Software Eats Culture For Breakfast


As tech leaders we like to think we’re responsible for driving organisational and cultural change, but in most cases, we’re just catching up to the possibilities created by new kinds of software, and re-forming our engineering organisations to take advantage of them.


Organisational dynamics are critical, but success at enabling fast flow is ultimately dependent upon how well your tech stack enables it. It’s technology that drives progress.


In this talk Nigel will take a tour through some history of the DevOps movement, findings from a decade of State of DevOps Reports, his experience driving change at large and small companies, discuss some relevant inflection points in software and how they influence organisational dynamics, and argue that the dominance of “culture” topics divorced from technological progress fails to advance our industry
