Course Overview

Most organisations now hold more data about cloud computing strategy than they can actually act on. Technology choices around this strand of digital and data-driven work are easy to reverse on paper and expensive to reverse in practice. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the wider digital and data-driven work agenda rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants who influence cloud computing strategy without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Buying a tool rarely fixes this strand of digital and data-driven work; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It treats the digital and data-driven work capability as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The professional literature on cloud computing strategy converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this area of digital and data-driven work to standardise and which to leave flexible. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of digital and data-driven work that participants can repeat annually.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Agree the first three actions on cloud computing strategy that will be taken on returning to work.

02

Build the internal skills to operate cloud computing strategy without permanent vendor dependency.

03

Assess whether cloud computing strategy should be built in-house, bought, or delivered through a partner.

04

Compare the organisation's handling of cloud computing strategy with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.

05

Establish escalation routes for cloud computing strategy that work outside normal hours.

06

Evaluate the bias, fairness and explainability obligations attaching to cloud computing strategy.

07

Document the decision record for cloud computing strategy so successors understand why it is built this way.

Course Modules

01

Cloud computing strategy: people, skills and the change that follows

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The data question everyone skips at the start of cloud computing strategy

  • Assess the regulatory obligations cloud computing strategy triggers in each jurisdiction.
  • Decide which legacy process cloud computing strategy retires, and set the date.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in cloud computing strategy.
  • Identify the skills the team lacks to operate cloud computing strategy independently.

Session 2Reading the true cost of running cloud computing strategy

  • Define the service level cloud computing strategy must meet and what happens when it is missed.
  • Specify the fallback path when cloud computing strategy is unavailable.
  • Set the review interval for cloud computing strategy and who attends.
  • Confirm that those complying with cloud computing strategy understand why it exists.
02

Cloud computing strategy: cost, licensing and total running expense

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The decisions in cloud computing strategy that cannot be delegated

  • Measure the current quality of the data feeding cloud computing strategy before assuming it is usable.
  • Test cloud computing strategy against edge cases drawn from real historical records.
  • Confirm that reporting on cloud computing strategy reaches the people who can act.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether cloud computing strategy is improving.

Session 2Explaining cloud computing strategy to people whose jobs it changes

  • Remove steps in cloud computing strategy that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Set out the decisions in cloud computing strategy that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains cloud computing strategy to those affected.
  • Define the trigger that would require cloud computing strategy to be redesigned.
03

Cloud computing strategy: from pilot to production

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a supplier for cloud computing strategy without being captured

  • Check that records of cloud computing strategy answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Confirm the retention and deletion rules applied to data inside cloud computing strategy.
  • Record the reasoning behind each architectural choice in cloud computing strategy.
  • Name a single owner for each element of cloud computing strategy.

Session 2Building lasting competence in cloud computing strategy

  • Identify every system cloud computing strategy must read from or write to.
  • Set the metrics that will show whether cloud computing strategy is drifting from its intended behaviour.
  • Design the pilot for cloud computing strategy so that a negative result is still useful.
  • Estimate the resource cloud computing strategy requires to run as designed.
04

Cloud computing strategy: measuring benefit and retiring what it replaces

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Closing out cloud computing strategy and capturing what was learned

  • Classify the data in cloud computing strategy and apply access controls that match the classification.
  • Benchmark the organisation's cloud computing strategy against comparable operations.
  • Estimate compute and licensing cost for cloud computing strategy at expected and at peak load.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in cloud computing strategy.

Session 2The pilot that actually settles the argument about cloud computing strategy

  • Define acceptance criteria for cloud computing strategy in advance.
  • List the data sources cloud computing strategy consumes and confirm each has a named owner.
  • Check that cloud computing strategy still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Agree who is on call for cloud computing strategy outside working hours.
