A Tale of Two Digital Transformations

April 1, 2020 Dormain Drewitz

So, you're digitally transforming... what does "good" look like?

"Getting developers to the point where developers want to change."

In this episode, Dormain sits down with Paul Pelafas (@paulpelafas) and Jonathan Regehr (@jonathanregehr) to hear how two different organizations navigated digital transformation journeys. They discuss what "good" looks like, how a healthy software culture is sustained (and destroyed), and the difference between grassroots and executive-led transformations.
