Google Hangout: Innovate Like a Startup, Scale for the Enterprise

It’s what keeps your CEO awake at night – your industry getting disrupted by a competitor you can’t see today. The winners are quick to adapt, fast to innovate. But how do you act like a startup – nimble, energetic and creative – at enterprise scale. DevOps, fused with open technologies, hybrid cloud and design thinking, can close the gap by helping build an enterprise competency for delivering continuous innovation.

Join us as industry leaders describe how they’re transforming their organizations to win. An innovation culture that addresses multi-speed IT. Blow-your-ears-back improvements in cycle time, cost and quality. Experimentation, feedback loops and A/B testing. And deploying updates to production – tens of times a day. Don’t miss it!
