Today, organizations struggle to turn their cloud investments into real business value.1 Many lack the supporting technology, skills and business expertise to capitalize on the vast transformative power possible in the cloud.
Tomorrow’s innovations are being created by leading organizations in the next-generation cloud. The cloud-native building blocks of composable business systems enable organizations to scale and adapt their processes at speed and to seamlessly integrate data and services. To maximize value in the cloud, leaders should look outward, and transform traditional value chains into dynamic, cloud-based ecosystems that facilitate better collaboration and rapid innovation.
A human-centered mindset and culture, where customers come first, from ambition to strategy to products and services, is critical for creating exponential, long-term value in the cloud. Looking within, leaders should promote a cloud-first approach, requiring new capabilities, skills and talent strategies.
