Open Transformation in Principle and Practice with Andrew Clay Shafer

Everyone uses the words ‘Digital Transformation’ to the point that the words lost meaning. Analysts often disagree on the numbers, but there appears to be general agreement that digital projects fail as much or more than they succeed. Simultaneously, organizations feel increasing pressure to deliver results with their technology investments. The truth is successful digital transformation is not just about changing technology but also about changing organizational behavior. Red Hat’s history as a steward and participant in open source communities provides a unique advantage to bring not only improvements in technology but also process improvements bridging traditional infrastructure with cloud native platforms. In this session, Andrew Clay Shafer, VP Transformation, will outline certain challenges of transformation and connect the investments Red Hat is making in products and personnel to improving outcomes for customers to enable developer productivity without compromising operational efficiency.
