“Strategizing Cloud: Vision and Collaboration” on the Ecosystems podcast

How do I build and execute a roadmap and strategy? Not a high-level business strategy that organizations typically receive, but one that actually bridges the gap between business outcome and business value that can be achieved in the cloud. How do I execute this plan, and what are the dots to connect in achieving these outcomes? Why are more organizations not doing so?

The Ecosystems Podcast welcomes its first (but not last) ever guest. James Joyce is a big thinker on the topic of cloud strategy and how absolutely massive organizations build (or in many cases neglect) the “why” that’s driving them to adopt new cloud technologies. He lives this every day as a Managing Director at Microsoft Partner Applied Information Sciences (AIS).

In this episode, the hosts discuss the importance of having a clear strategy and understanding the “why” behind cloud adoption and technology investments. They highlight the challenges organizations face when they lack a clear vision and the need for collaboration across different departments. The conversation also touches on the impact of silos and the need for organizations to bridge the gap between business outcomes and technology implementation. The hosts emphasize the value of incremental adoption, enablement, and proving outcomes to gain buy-in from stakeholders. They also discuss the misconceptions around citizen development and the disconnect between conference organizers and audience interests.
