Tasktop’s Carmen DeArdo Co-Authors Standing on Shoulders: A Leader’s Guide to Digital Transformation

Available on Amazon, Focuses on How to Transform Organizations to
Compete and Thrive in Today’s Digital Age

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/devops?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#devopslt;/agt;–Tasktop,
the leader in Value Stream Integration, today announced that Carmen
DeArdo, who heads up the company’s Value Stream Management (VSM)
Consulting Practice, has co-authored Standing
on Shoulders: A Leader’s Guide to Digital Transformation with
digital leader Jack Maher.

In this leader’s guide to digital transformation, which is available
on Amazon, readers get practical, actionable information on building
an employee and customer-obsessed culture that drives speed and
efficiency while leveraging technology to sell better products and
services.

DeArdo currently works with customers on utilizing the Flow Model
concepts described in Tasktop CEO Mik Kersten’s recent book Project
to Product: How to Survive and Thrive in the Age of Digital Disruption
with the Flow Framework to help them better understand
how to accelerate flow to better serve their customers.

Previously, as DevOps leader, technology director at Nationwide
Insurance, DeArdo was responsible for driving continuous delivery
utilizing DevOps, Lean and Agile practices. He was recognized by
DevOps.com as a winner for 2016
Successful DevOps Transformation and was also named as one of the 25
must follow enterprise DevOps leaders by TechBeacon.

“I have worked with some of the best thought leaders over my career at
Bell Labs, Nationwide Insurance and Tasktop,” said DeArdo. “During that
time, I was fortunate to witness and also help lead transformational
journeys that enabled large enterprises to improve the way that business
value is delivered through the application of technology and continuous
improvement techniques. In this book, I share what I have learned to
help readers in their own journeys, which are filled with ebbs and flows
requiring patience and persistence. But in the end, the ability to
transform skepticism about what seems improbable into the hope of what
is possible makes it all worthwhile.”
