Cloud Strategy for Executives 101: From Plans to Profits

Cloud Strategy for Executives 101: From Plans to Profits

2024-05-15

Join Matt and Georgia as they dive into the world of cloud strategy with special guest, cloud strategy superstar Michael Ewald!

Listen as we unpack the essentials of crafting a killer cloud strategy that not only rocks your business world but also keeps your stakeholders smiling.

Your hosts + Michael kick things off by emphasizing the importance of syncing your cloud strategy with your business master plan.

It's like making sure your favorite song is playing in the background while you conquer the dance floor – total harmony! Now, let's sprinkle in some key takeaways:

1. Lift-and-Shift Blunders: They caution against the dreaded "lift and shift" approach without a sprinkle of modernization. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole – costly and ineffective.

2. Incentivize Cloud Champions: Aligning leadership incentives and KPIs with your cloud strategy is like fueling your rocket ship for intergalactic success.

3. Pick Cloud Services Wisely: Think of choosing cloud services like picking toppings for your perfect pizza – it's got to match your taste! So, select services that vibe with your organization's culture and goals.

4. Keep it Simple, Silly: Going multi-cloud might sound fancy, but unless it's absolutely necessary, it's like juggling flaming torches – risky business!

5. Operational Overhaul: Don't just focus on the tech stuff; plan for those operating model changes like a seasoned conductor leading an orchestra. It's all about that harmonious symphony.

6. Track Progress Like a Pro: Continuous measurement is the name of the game. It's like having a Fitbit for your cloud strategy – keeping you on track and feeling accomplished!

7. Learn from cloud tenured execs: Reach out to those who've braved the cloud journey before you. It's like having a cheat code in the game of cloud domination – why reinvent the wheel?

To sum it up, crafting a top-notch cloud strategy isn't just about flinging your data into the digital sky and hoping for the best. It's about strategic thinking, alignment, and a sprinkle of magic that turns your cloud dreams into business reality. So, grab your brainstorming hats and get ready to conquer the cloud-o-sphere!
