🌟 Introducing @leesmith, Global Head of Fund Services Technology and @danielle.horney, Global head of Middle Office Product Delivery of HSBC, here to present, Driving the Right Culture – HSBC’s Value Stream Journey 🌟
So glad you are presenting, @leesmith and @danielle.horney!!!
what are the differences between Tech and Product Delivery?
(@lucas.rettig I’m eager to hear the answer to this — the area has a very complex value delivery chain…)
Good question Luke... Technology is the pure tech team doing dev, tech support etc., and Prod Delivery are in essence are the Change function on the Business side...
We're very closely aligned teams working in cross-functional PODs together - so organisationally different, but aligned operationally to deliver
What were the biggest cultural challenges that existed that you needed to overcome? What you have achieved here is no easy achievement inside a large bank.
What concrete steps did you go through to achieve the psychological safe environment and what were the challenges in this specific step?
I would say it's removing the onshore/offshore tags and become one team @raj.fowler
@leesmith do your cross-functional PODs self-managed or is there a resource management effort applied?
They are self managed as much as possible, but there is an element of high level resource management - goal to try and keep the PODs and static and consistent as possible
1could you share the whole criterias of the business value calculator?
lots of interest on this Business Value Calculator 🙂. Do you separate out the ‘value assessment/prioritization’ from the ‘sequencing’ in which things get done? asking for a friend 😆
@lester2 Yes, even technical change will bring value to the business in some shape or from
Have you been capturing metrics to date and what trends have you seen? @sergiolopes709 - this is similar to the NatWest story in many ways.
Thats a great point, and we have started to assess our flow metrics fairly recently so that we can see the true value metrics of the improvments and trends.... also measuring team satisfaction :)
@lucas.rettig we use the business value to order the sequence things get done
@danielle.horney - i’ve run into issues where the highest value items have lots of dependencies. We’ve started to use it as a critical input into sequencing, but often times we can get more total value by doing the items with slightly less value, but but easier complexity
Yes, so we have also come up with a value that takes the BV and effort to give an overall score that helps with these kind of issues
Hi @lilian.mitroglou - the main elements here were around setting the right tone from the top with Danielle and my approach - being open, vulnerable and authentic as possible. The coaching element Danielle references was also key to allow people to be themselves and open up. And then also driving the awareness of the need of that psychologically safe environment. As Danielle referenced earlier, the other key element was working to build that collaboration cross-location within our teams to bring 'people' together, not just 'resources'...
@lester2 Probably one for a BoF session with Project to Product. I've been contemplating similar especially as i've recently seen models where Agile teams are being set up with Product Owners and Service Owners who basically balance prioritization of the backlog for delivery.
Its a good point, as we really have a combination of Products and Services within our Value Streams...
@raj.fowler I would agree, it is crucial you can measure in real terms the value or impact of the delivery.
A really good question... key to this is ensuring the psycholoigcally sage culture is in place as the base, and this then enables people to be more open, removing their fear of judgement and using everything as a learning opportunity. The sharing itself is then done through a combination of Blogs, talks, team mettings etc., all in a very open environment
Ahh I guess I need to get more down the pyramid to know more. May be sometime 1-1 conversation if possible.
In german we say "Der Weg ist das Ziel", "The journey is the reward". Makes absolutely sense while working iteratively in a continuous learning environment.
@danielle.horney - I think we could share some stories. Perhaps @sergiolopes709 and I can catch up with you and @leesmith - we can message directly
@lester2 budget currently annually but looking to change that going forward
@danielle.horney can I receive more information on the Business Value Calculator as well? Very interested to learn more about it!
✨ Introducing @raj.fowler, Director, Enterprise Services and @matthew.stokes, Practitioner Engineer from DevOpsGroup and @sergiolopes709, Identity Service Portfolio Transformational Lead, NatWest Group, here to present Self-service Automation for Identity and Access Management Unlocks Productivity ✨
Thanks for having us - its a pleasure to be here! Please fire questions this way and we will do our best to answer.
Hi all, hope you find the presentation interesting. Thanks for the invite.
Be really interested to see what people thing to the restaurant analogy and bonus points if you notice the Spitfire crashing
can you share your napkin math to get to the costs for IAM you identified?
We did some value stream mapping for different patterns and determined lead time, wait time and effort. We then took the effort and multiplied it by the rate cards of the engineering workforce This then gave us the cost for onboarding per applications
We then look at the to-be self service and did the same to understand the future cost.
Certainly, it does depend on the offerings as we also enabled MFA to our Mobile Payment journeys. So we attempted to price out journey adoptions to capabilities. Happy to connect with you to talk that through
Multiplying this up by the future demand over 3 years, together with investment costs gave us the business case for change.
For a central technology service our main focus was to remove us as a dependency to deliver value. This enables us to focus on identity capabilities as a value proposition to the organisation rather than enabling a piece of tech
Be good to understand if any of the benefits and metrics improvements coming up resonate with others who have enabled self-service platforms
love that outcome - building what customer needs instead of what you think they need
@sergiolopes709 could you elaborate what help around self-service for cloud infra you’re looking for? I might have some thoughts/experience to share, but depends on where you are and where you want to go.
I will PM you my details and connect if that works as this topic may require a 30 min coffee catch up
Thanks, in essence we are looking to adopt cloud infra to progress our journey to enable identity as code, giving our business a much more fluid approach to adopt identity capabilities within the customer journey

⭐ Excited to welcome @robinyeman, CTO at Catalyst Campus, here to present: Can the National Imperative for the Department of Defense Accelerate DevOps Adoption ⭐
PS: @robinyeman I'm so delighted that you're able to make such a big impact in your new role!
@robinyeman Can you post your co-presenter info here, and we'll get the session info updated in schedule and in Video Library. Cc @alex
Heard this amazing quote from @ben.grinnell earlier today for first time: "being fastest is more important than being first".
love this bit about people taking action; not waiting for permission
"Do we have too many?" (Ugh. 😢). It was amazing to hear Trent Hone (author of Learning War) talk about how we are witnessing a massive, distributed experimentation happening — the missing step is a central mechanism to help distribute/share learnings.
@genek I think the challenge from Senior leadership is how to balance operational security and budget concerns compared to DevOps capability. IMO
I.e., we actually want lots of variety and massive experimentation happening, when there are so many unknowns about what the ideal looks like
https://www.linkedin.com/in/duong-hang/ - Duong is a tremendously talented influencer in the Air Force
@robinyeman OH lately: "no problem. We just need to go from P1 to either Iron Bank or _, via the Party Bus." I thought it was a joke, but apparently, all real things. :)
I’m going to start using Party Bus as the preferred synonym for event bus from now on
The challenge of ATOs is that they are generally done as after actions (large batch size) cATO is very much focused on small batches.
@erik.greathouse277 ATO is more expensive than designing and building and testing the entire system
@robinyeman doesn't disagree, My point was ATOs are more expensive due to how they are implemented compared to cATO which is the same intent but implementation is different.
This is a super fantastic talk, @robinyeman — thank you!!!!
Can you convey that to Duong, as well! (I'll email you on a separate topic, as well!)
@genek I will definitely convey and actually send virtual introduction, he is pretty great
⚡Introducing @moonmaster9000, Technology Consultant, Organizational Architect and IT Revolution author of A Radical Enterprise, is here to present: Getting Started with Radical Collaboration ⚡
Amazed with how much Gore gets into. Didn’t realize the company making the most popular jacket waterproofing also makes my floss…
https://itrevolution.com/how-to-run-a-radically-collaborative-meeting-in-3-easy-steps/
Would a list of roles in an organization look different in a radically collaborative organization, given the managerial devolution?
by any chance will the slides become available for this talk? currently showing “(No slides available)” in the library 🤓
@moonmaster9000 Thanks for the fascinating... and terrifying talk... my head is blown off... 😄
Thank you Matt! You can also join Matt's community discussing radical collaboration here: https://mattkparker.com/
I'm loving A Radical Enterprise - I'm building an InnerSource initiative to enable more effective collaboration over software but the thoughts in this book are already bouncing around my head!
Thank you all for listening. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions of feedback or anything; and if you want to discuss radical collaboration, self-management, etc., with others interested in the same thing, then please come join my slack community via http://mattkparker.com
You can also email me at <mailto:matt@mattkparker.com|matt@mattkparker.com>
@moonmaster9000 I really like the Ideas you presented, thanks a lot for that! One question, though: How do you account for survivorship bias in your work? In other words... how can you actually draw the inference that those radical collaboration patterns are indeed the cause for the organizations' being successful?
First --- thank you for the question! Second --- I've done nothing to account for survivorship bias. I think causation is hard --- particularly in sociology and organizational science, and particularly outside of an experimental laboratory. That being said, I'm also principally a writer, not an organizational science researcher. But studies like the HOW Report, which highlight the correlations, along with various psychological and sociological studies in the book, definitely paint a compelling (and hopeful) picture that what is good for humans is good for organizations.
Thanks @moonmaster9000. Don't get me wrong here, I do believe (and I find it quite logical) that improved collaboration leads to improved results. But then beliefs are just beliefs 🙂 "Fooled by randomness" kind of shook up my confidence a little here 🙂

> Queues profoundly affect the economics of product development. They cause valuable work products to sit idle, waiting to access busy resources. This idle time increases inventory, which is the root cause of many other economic problems. • Donald Reinertsen Flow
