June 7th, 11:00a EDT

We are joined by members of the DevOps Enterprise Summit London programming committee to get a preview of the upcoming event to learn more about the exciting speakers and presentations happening later this month (June 30 - July 1). We’ll be discussing the idea of "Leading Change" from the DevOps transformation perspective and how this relates to organizational design in the enterprise, the functions of people, modern processes and technology adoption, and addressing security and compliance.
