Speaker
Abstract
Transformation is needed and hard. Many companies have had starts and stops, made great progress, made limited progress, had major and minor setbacks and some haven’t even started. We work in complex systems and environments and looking for a checklist or playbook for success will often lead to frustration. Every organization is different and it’s not a one size fits all. All of these panelists have been part of major transformations in ways of working and focus on building strong teams optimized for delivering flow of value to customers. You will have the opportunity to ask them about their experiences and what they’ve seen work and not work. Come with your questions about culture, leadership, technical practices, processes and other factors you’re curious about hearing this expert panel answer. You may not leave with a checklist but you will leave with an understanding of how these leaders have navigated the complexity and come up with tactics and techniques depending on the challenge they are facing.
Interview
QCon San Francisco 2022 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.
