38:38 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked38:38
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedPeople in large organizations avoid improving for improving's sake. They're very rarely proactive in transforming. Instead, it seems that management in most large organizations only act, and change, when they fear competition and failure. "Everyone" knows this is a bad strategy, and yet "everyone" does it. Perhaps we should embrace that behavior, or at least be empathetic, and figure out how to work with it. We discuss this problem and things to do in this episode. Also, we find out why Coté always has bad breath. Mood board: (6:30) - The daily, normal fears are going to drive what a business does more than large, one-off crises. If your inventory is on an AS/400, then you're in trouble. A chaos monkey for business, or, training for the unexpected. "When there's not a crisis, every penny is squeezed out of technology." Outsourcing, but the harmful type. Hold your customers close, know your evolving storefront. Now, software is the primary storefront. To improve, you must have an enemy. (20:51) "If you're trying to modernize, do this 'digital transformation,' it has to come from a place of an existential problem." (21:26) To prepare for a major disruption, you have to prepare for a bunch of minor, incremental disruptions. You have to sell [the return] on paying for change. (25:51) If you want to justify paying for continuous delivery, you have to find a problem to solve. (27:41) They're bean counters, so just count the beans for them - just give them some beans and they're happy. (28:58) As technologist, our views on revenue are not considered important or valid. (29:21) Fear and loss are often easier to quantify, e.g., "if the database goes down, the business halts, and we loose millions a minute." Growth potential is harder to quantify and pitch, so we often ask for money based on fear and loss. (29:36) "Even though I think about revenue streams, I've never been taken as seriously when I talk about them, as when I talk about fear." Finding people outside of IT that care about software, like, in "the business." (32:55) The only reason for technical agility, is business agility. (33:44) If you do live through a crisis, try to internalize your failure to prepare so you only learn once from crisis, not again and again. (35:33) The Business needs the fear, and then needs to ask IT to help with some optimistic technology action...cause no one's gonna believe IT.…

Large organization are desperate to become “tech companies.” They drool at these tech companies ability to grow and change quickly. Despite mastering agile over the past 20 years, IT as a whole is too slow and unreliable. “It’s the culture,” everyone says. Changing culture for a team of 10 people is easy - changing a department of 20,000 developers is another challenge entirely. Based on case studies and interviews over the past five years, this talk describes how large organizations are getting over that challenge. First, the talk covers moving from a project to a product mindset and the associated practices. Second, it covers how DevOps and cloud platforms enable that product mindset. Third, it goes over how leadership and management change to support this new approach. Finally, the talk catalogs tactics, patterns, and organizational structures that large organizations are using to improve how they do software which leads to improving their business.

If you do anything with “customer data,” you should probably at least take a look at it. Companies like Facebook and others who use customer data to work with third parties are gonna have GDPR all up in their grills. In this interviews episode, we talk with Jon Collins who’s been writing about GDPR of late from his perch in the UK. Jon’s an excellent analyst and always has incisive takes on enterprise IT related matters, as well as music (sadly, not featured in this episode).

Show Putting people on the line for data handling problems. Defining legit use for data: like updating on products bought, recommending other things to buy based on past buying. But, when it comes to holding you’re kid’s interest and other creepy thing, stuff comes into effect. Can’t hoard data now, have to justify why you’re doing it at least. So, sort of: if a third party gets ahold of the data, you need to spell out to the end-user what the data is and how it’ll be used. They started thinking about GDRP in 2005; it’s taken then 12 years for them to come up with this. Jon on GDPR, and more “GDPR, a topic about which I feel strangely sad [about]” Summarize it - ensure data can be encrypted, provide data on-demand, notify of data breaches (but just in unencrypted?), appoint CDO, somehow describe policy to end user (is this a set policy or can organizations differ it?), data must stay in EU (unless protection stuff is done off-shore) How’d this come about? “IT professionals expect that compliance with GDPR will require additional investment: over 80 percent of those surveyed expect GDPR-related spending to be at least $100,000.” ( Book of all knowledge ) In use : “Facebook needs to ask people if it can use status posts as input to its advertising engines, whereas Google does not need to know someone is — its AdWords algorithms generate information based on search requests, location and so on, without being personally identifiable.” Meanwhile , “we will consent to have our privacy even more eroded than it already is.” What exactly should we care about with data privacy: how does an individual think through what Facebook does, Axcion, Target, the government, foreign governments, etc. - aka, Jon vs. The McNealy Privacy Principal (it’s dead, get over it).

A big named executive (usually) comes up on the stage with a big name journalist and is interviewed in a “wide ranging” discussion.
