 hinking to Help DevOps Flourish - [Simon Copsey](https://www.linkedin.com/

 ferent things to different people. This ambiguity can make it even harder 
 when adopting and expanding DevOps in any organisation.\n\nIn this talk we
  will explore the shifting assumptions to review when considering and adop
 ting DevOps\, and several thinking tools that can help in expanding its in
 fluence in any organisation.\n\nThese tools will draw on concepts from Lea
 n\, Agile and Theory of Constraints\, and hopefully offer some renewed tac
 tics for any organisational change efforts.\n\n*Simon is a Lead Transforma
 tion Consultant at OpenCredo\, and is on a mission to help organisations u
 nderstand and unwind complex\, cross-functional obstacles that get in the 
 way of their staff\, and reduce the ability to serve their customers.*\n\n
 *Simon’s career has taken him from being a developer in the trenches to 
 helping various organisations take pragmatic steps from a place of chaos a
 nd paralysis\, to one where it becomes a little easier to see the wood for
  the trees.*\n\n**7:45pm - Food & Drinks Break**\n\n**8:15pm - How KPMG Do
