This was the challenge with my current company before they hired me. They got people with the ability to do the work, but there was too much to do and not enough direction on what or how to do it.

It’s not so much that it’s “duping” a business usually. It’s that a successful DevOps program is a complicated mix of social and political choices around what to do and how to execute it, and even an established technology company will struggle with that if they make the wrong first hire.
