I went to an IT event the other night for CIOs and other senior IT executives. This was a networking event centred around a couple of talks and a Gin Tasting. This was hosted at a leading financial Institutions centre for showcasing Innovation and Digital Applications, near London's hot bed of FinTech start-ups in Shoreditch..
The Gin Tasting was good and informative. So were the talks on Leading Change and DevOps. They were good too, interactive and got us going.
The thing which struck me though, was that although everyone was keen on change, digital technology and agile, few of them had any awareness of DevOps. When asked whether anyone had heard of the 3 Ways, only 2 people had. Only one person had read the Phoenix Project or heard of Goldratt and the concept of managing bottlenecks in a process or even Lean Concepts.
Given the general acceptance that DevOps is moving into the mainstream, this was quite a surprise. Digital without Agile & DevOps is like a G&T without the tonic.
