Title: Deepening our people, to weather the org
Description:
Devops is about changing technical culture. But technical culture isn’t created in a vacuum – it's nurtured and reinforced by the broader organisational culture our tech orgs are part of.
That culture comes from people – our artifacts, beliefs, and assumptions. Unless we deepen our people's skills, knowledge, and experience, we'll get the culture change we deserve.
What does technical culture change look like, and how does it survive? And why are people the hardest but most important piece of the puzzle to change?
