on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Argues that cloud native strategy means using containers, microservices, CI/CD and IaaS/PaaS specifically to shorten time to value, not chasing containers for their own sake. Presents Mintzberg’s intended/emergent/realized model, shows unexpected innovation (IKEA’s flat-pack), and warns that bureaucracy creates resistance requiring political choices—sometimes people lose power. Recommends mapping organizational capabilities, proving one area with continuous delivery and small teams before scaling.
