Does Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast?
Transformation is not just about moving applications into the cloud. Transformation also means to change how the people workin the ecosystemand adopt different methodsand technologies. Cross Team Collaboration, Automation, Transparency, Continuous Feedback and Improvements are all part of different attributes that gets changed by adopting AGILE and DevOps Mindset. Big question is Does Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast (Ref: a famous quote from legendary management consultant and writer Peter Drucker). On one hand , a rightcultural transformationwouldbrings tangible benefits like reduction in Time To Market, Shift left in defect lifecycle, less iteration of Test Cycles as defects are detected early in project lifecycle. Also, we get Happy Customer and Highly Motivated team. On the other hand , if culture is unfit in organizationthen it can erode the market value , destroythe organization, unhappy customers and demotivated team.
