Andrew and Steve met at the DevOps Enterprise Summit as mutual fans of the emergence of Value Stream Thinking and success stories across the DevOps community.They've since collaborated on several community and industry initiatives under the banner of Inside Out to share Value Stream Thinking with a broader audience and share success stories from this growing movement.Between them, they carry over 40 years of flow, team, value, and systems thinking, coupled with experience guiding teams of all sizes and purpose. By combining their perspectives, 'Inside Out' provides not only tactical and strategic guidance, but cultural and behavioural support for effective improvement efforts.
