Join Gary Case, a principal consultant at Pink Elephant and a Lean expert for his webinar, Top 5 Skills for Lean Leaders.

Forget Being Naughty, It’s Time To Be BRM-Nice!

The camaraderie, goodwill, and harmony of the holiday season should be reflected in our relationships with our colleagues and business partners throughout the year. Rather than assign a business relationship management (BRM) role to a business partner (like a lot of organizations do) and then abandon them to it, embrace the concept. Give the gift of guidance to the BRM role because it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

To remain competitive and support business objectives, many organizations are undertaking the initiative to implement DevOps – but are struggling to move their teams forward to realize the full benefits of a successful DevOps transformation.

Troy DuMoulin, VP of Research and Development at Pink Elephant provides vital information about the leadership skills and practical methods needed to lead a DevOps transformation during his webinar, DevOps Leadership – Moving From Experimentation To Transformation.

Many organizations are experimenting with DevOps but are uncertain of how to take the next steps to realize the wide-ranging potential of the DevOps ‘Full Stack’ approach to culture, practices and automation and the 15 essential practices. While their teams agree that change is necessary to remain competitive and support business objectives, most organizations are struggling with how to move the dial on their DevOps initiatives from experimentation to full adoption!

Crossing this chasm requires leadership skills and practical methods for leading a DevOps transformation. In response to this challenge, Pink Elephant has created the DevOps Leadership™ certification course. The foundation of this course is a newly-developed Integrated Change Management approach and tool kit known as “20/20”,  an innovative approach to help leaders and organizations clearly see the complete path to a successful DevOps transformation.

Today’s successful leaders are those who enable their teams to ‘deliver the goods’ – literally and figuratively.

The nature of work in the digital age requires that each individual, as well as each IT team, department or division adopt a continual improvement mindset and practice.

In his webinar, The Positive Side Of An Endless Loop: How Leaders Create A Kaizen/Continuous Improvement Mindset, Pink Elephant’s VP of Research & Development, Troy DuMoulin provides crucial tactics and approaches on how leaders can accomplish this.
