Anuradha,
Quite and interesting and important question. Indeed it's a cultural change. Few thoughts that may be worth considering and useful:
1. From Requirements, Design, Development, Test and Deployment stand point : need to imbibe "DevOps" culture. Going forward, CI/CT/CD has to be a part of life. May arrange training sessions on DevOps and drive tools automation to implement it e.g. may consider FusionForge, Jenkins, Maven, Subversion, SonarQube, Git, Puppet etc. which are all open source.
2. From Operations stand point : Need to add skills such as Heat Orchestration Templates, TOSCA, Python scripting etc.
Hope this helps.

How do we do the culture change within a Telco organization to adopt software-ization (SDN, NFV, Virtualization and Cloud) in a more sustainable way?
