As Drupal has grown so have the companies that provide its services.  Almost all Drupal providers have started out as passionate development focus companies.  In this session I would like to talk about my experiences helping bring operations and business processes to a technology led organization.  Most Drupal companies were founded in passion for the technology.  As they have grown, there has been an increased need for passion in the business & operations roles that help convert Drupal Companies into Agencies.
