As DevOps continue to evolve with the emergence and expansion of new technology trends including cloud infrastructure, Big Data and the Internet of Things, thoughts of DevOps adoption has become increasingly mainstream in many IT enterprises. IDC alone estimates that 60 percent of CIOs plan to use DevOps to manage their software.
“Going Mainstream with DevOps” will analyze how DevOps automation has evolved since its conception and how it continues to play a major role in many IT organizations. Rachel will then dive deeper into how enterprises are adopting DevOps practices, from agile development and continuous deployment to containerization; and, the challenges organizations face when implementing DevOps and how to overcome them.

Baker & Courtney 2017 GT-SROI methodology presentation Dec 2017i4h
A presentation by Dr Colin Baker and Paul Courtney (University of Gloucestershire) given at a seminar session which describes the application and development of an innovative methodology to assess the societal value of a health promotion intervention.
Assessing the value of community health programmes using sroii4h
Presented at the European Public Health Conference, 2017 (Baker, C. & Courtney, P.).
Contemporary theories and models applied in health promotion evaluation lack sensitivity with respect to recognising and accounting for the wider ecological context in which behaviour takes place. This leads to a deficit in knowledge concerning the nature and value of outcomes experienced by people at which programmes are targeted.
An evaluation framework was devised to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of physical activity and sport projects implemented via a two-year health promotion programme in the UK.
The Social Return on Investment framework provided a means of understand-ing and valuing the wider social changes of the health promotion programme and ensured the outcomes were grounded in the realities of the people who experienced and implemented the programme.
This represents an innovative approach that addresses some of the limitations of contemporary health promotion evaluation approaches.
Our conceptual framework helps to understand the wider societal impacts of health promotion interventions which are often neglected.

An academic poster from the 2017 PHE Annual Conference. We outline how evaluating the wider value of contemporary health promotion programmes is challenging because of the complex and overlapping relationship between individuals and the wider environmental context. Commissioners of evaluations need to ensure the involvement of relevant stakeholders throughout the evaluation process1. An approach that was sensitive to the realities of the people who experience and implement programmes was devised to establish meaningful and relevant outcomes of a small grants health promotion programme.

An academic poster from the 2017 British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Annual Conference. We outline that patient outcomes of orthognathic surgery are complex and include physical changes, mental and physical health improvements, and psychosocial adjustments1,2. To our knowledge, investigations of the personal and societal impact of orthognathic surgery using the government recognised SROI framework have not been published before.
This study represents a collaboration between the University of Gloucestershire, and Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust, involving patients following orthognathic surgery at Gloucester Royal Hospital (GRH).
Gloucestershire Active Together Social Return on Investmenti4h
Gloucestershire County Council’s (GCC) Active Together (AT) programme aimed to help encourage more participation in sport and physical activity across the county and was open to a range of community groups, from sports clubs to scout groups and parish and town councils, and schools. In September 2014 the University of Gloucestershire was commissioned Public Health Gloucestershire to evaluate the AT programme as a means of establishing evidence of whether the programme was a good way of using funds to encourage greater participation in health enhancing activities. Using a mixed methods approach incorporating a Social Return on Investment framework the evaluation sought to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of projects implemented
with AT funding.
This slide Summary presents a summary of findings from an evaluation of the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) intervention to support mental health literacy among members of the Armed Forces community in the UK.
A mixed method evaluation included both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (observations, interviews, and focus groups) elements. The quantitative aspect of the evaluation involved the development of a pre- and post-training survey which assessed shifts in trainee (n=602) knowledge, attitudes, and confidence around mental health issues from pre-training to post-training, including a follow up survey 10 months after the course to establish whether the course had a sustainable impact. Of the 602 trainees who completed the initial survey, n=120 completed the follow-up survey.
The qualitative aspect of the evaluation comprised course observations (n= 13), semi-structured telephone interviews with trainees post-training (n=13), focus groups with trainers (n =14) and a focus group with an expert reference group (n=4).
Quantitative findings revealed that:
- immediately following training, from pre- to post-intervention (the training course) trainees showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. Importantly, this effect was sustained at the 10 month follow-up.
- there was a small but significant decrease in knowledge which occurred from post training to follow-up. Despite the decrease from post training to follow-up, overall, knowledge, attitudes, and confidence were all significantly higher than at baseline.
Qualitative findings reported that trainees:
- increased their knowledge, understanding and confidence in talking about and communicating with people who have mental health issues;
- had improved listening skills, advice giving, and confidence in asking difficult questions regarding mental health issues.
Trainers reported:
- increased learning and confidence in understanding and managing mental health through the training experience;
- shared feeling with other trainers and trainees of wanting to support and help the promotion of mental health and its awareness in the Armed Forces community; and the need to manage military and civilian dynamics within the courses.
