Then find your goals...
STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 994 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Cloud Modernization improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 994 standard requirements:
- What are the primary differences between cloud-based procurement and sourcing solutions and on-premise or traditional procurement and sourcing solutions, and how do these differences impact our organization's procurement and sourcing operations?
- How do cloud-based procurement and sourcing solutions support the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and blockchain, and what benefits do these integrations provide?
- What are the primary advantages of a multi-cloud strategy in terms of avoiding vendor lock-in, and how can organizations ensure they are not inadvertently recreating lock-in scenarios across multiple cloud providers?
- What are the implications of a multi-cloud strategy on an organization's service desk and help desk operations, and how can they optimize their service management practices to accommodate multiple cloud providers?
- How do cloud-based procurement and sourcing solutions address the need for greater transparency and accountability in procurement and sourcing, and what tools or features promote transparency and accountability?
- What are the benefits of using cloud-based customer community and forum platforms to facilitate customer engagement and support, and how can we ensure that these platforms are moderated and managed effectively?
- How do cloud-based supply chain management systems support the development of continuous improvement and optimization processes, and what benefits does this provide to operational efficiency and cost reduction?
- What are the critical factors to consider when evaluating the total cost of ownership (TCO) of public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, and how do they impact budget planning and resource allocation?
- How do cloud-based supply chain management systems support the development of real-time monitoring and tracking capabilities, and what benefits does this provide to supply chain visibility and optimization?
- In a multi-cloud environment, how do organizations ensure consistent security and compliance across disparate cloud providers, and what tools or frameworks can they leverage to facilitate this consistency?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.
Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'
This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Cloud Modernization investments work better.
This Cloud Modernization All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
