Wiring for Fast Flow
Based on a paper I co-wrote with Cisco's John Rauser, this talk introduces the key mechanisms and principles that enable the internet's extreme flow at scale and our best collaboration. This talk will introduce three critical missing pieces in almost every company's attempt to enable fast flow, and how those pieces can be easily missed in a performance improvement journey.
I'll walk the audience through where the three missing pieces fit in, and how to use them to enable flow at a new level.

Steve Pereira was lucky to join Ghent 2014 with an ignite talk “DevOps is the MacGuffin” about the present and future of DevOps. Since then, he’s become a student of past and parallel efforts to improve performance, and applying his learning with teams in organizations of all sizes. He’s compiled that learning in a set of practices shared with a community of flow enablers, and written papers and books to share the most impactful concepts, principles and practices.
Steve has spent over two decades improving the flow of work across organizations. He's worked through tech support, IT management, build and release engineering, and as a founding CTO for enterprise SaaS.
He serves as lead consultant for Visible Flow Consulting, as a board advisor to the Value Stream Management Consortium, Chair of the OASIS Value Stream Management Interoperability technical committee, and co-founder of the Flow Collective to bring flow-focused professionals together. Since 2017, he has been developing and facilitating Flow Engineering to make flow improvement in large organizations accessible. collaborative, and actionable.
