In this talk we will convey how the currently-ongoing DevOps transformation at Kaiser Permanente, became a reality. KP is rich with history and known for driving innovation dating back all the way to ship building for World War II.

We will highlight the challenges with implementing transformative change in a compliant industry and risk averse organization, providing real world examples of how the team overcame significant resistance at all levels within the organization. The focus will be on how critical a mutual tops-down and bottoms-up approach is to the success of a major transformation.
