SHOW: Season 2, Show 7
OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast, Cloudcast Basics.
FRAMEWORK FOR CONSIDERATION
This show is sort of a culmination of the previous Season 2 shows - Innovation, Cost Reduction, Risk Reduction, Competitive Awareness, Managing Staffing, etc. For a long time, companies liked to say “we’re not a <xyz company>, we’re a software company that happens to also do <xyz>”. COVID really challenged if that was true for a number of companies.
- Are you able to use technology to adapt your business when significant market changes happen?
- Is your company able to respond to significant market changes with innovative technologies in a timely manner?
- Is your business able to survive a significant market change with alternative ways to engage markets?
- Does your leadership team support the investments to become a company that can take advantage of digital transformation?
REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:
- Transformation is difficult. Transformation often happens when a crisis occurs - don’t waste a crisis.
- Leverage cloud computing to “invest ahead” of change, both in terms of technology and people.
