Traditional legacy impediments starve the change program of effort, funding, and engagement.
Sunken cost, resources, and contract encumbrances get in the way of transforming operations and experiences that could otherwise be harnessed with the power of digital. These complications often mean that servicing technical debt consumes over half of an organisations IT budget, creating internal resistance to change and difficulties making the funding case for digital transformation.
Organisations have an opportunity to embed a growth mindset into every activity. As remote operations persist, ADAPT research shows that 43% of the workforce will join delivery and strategy meetings remotely on any given day. This workload democratisation offers infrastructure leaders a chance to rearchitect operational models that facilitate innovation at scale and enhance the human experience.
Cloud and Data Centre leaders transforming operations to grasp the innovation imperative can:
- Create conditions conducive to competing on experience through employee inspiration
- Design a mentoring model that improves commercial alignment with digital execution
- Redesign operating models in a way that overcomes the impediments of hybrid working
- Develop an incremental roadmap to scale cloud-based workloads and infrastructure efficiently
- Apply a modern risk framework to defend an infinite perimeter while encouraging growth
