People who talk about driving devops adoption by helping people understand the core ethical reasons of improving the world for those who work in it (I’m usually in this camp with Gene Kim).

DevOps adoption – Enterprises (part 2 of 2)
A large enterprise has institutionalized an incredible number of processes. Their fundamental approach to IT has been built over years if not decades of experience.
