For many organizations, adopting cloud computing is as much about accelerating innovation as fostering cultural change. With the paradigms of innovation shifting from waterfall and iterative methodologies towards a more dynamic approach, how do organizations move forward without alienating their employees?
Pravin Raj, Global Head of Practice Development at Amazon Web Services, faces questions around these challenges all the time. In his session at AWS Summit New York 2018, Raj acknowledged that pressing issues such as skills gaps, security concerns, and workload migration priorities still matter, but what executives really worry about are how their teams will respond to cultural change. Many of the worries that keep executives up at night stem not from choosing the wrong cloud platform, but from how these issues may impact employees.
Even with the worries of upheaval, Raj says that “the team you have today is largely the team you will have tomorrow” because even with the arrival of new technologies, there will still be a need for staff. At his session, he provided five best practices to help teams prepare.
The move to the cloud is a long but rewarding journey. Successful migration hinges not only on selecting the right cloud solutions but also on your ability to develop a collaborative and open culture.
