While companies’ shift to the cloud has been gradual over the last decade, recent research from Accenture shows that the pandemic has accelerated that move.

In 2020, companies of all kinds quickly learned that they had to depend on cloud technologies to enable entire staffs to work from home, ramp up digital commerce, and provide telehealth, entertainment streaming, and more.

But despite the enthusiasm for what cloud can do, only 37% of leaders said they had fully achieved the outcomes they expected from their cloud initiatives.

Cloud experts Karthik Narain (LinkedIn profile) and Jim Wilson (LinkedIn profile), will lead a live HBR webinar highlighting five key questions that business leaders need to ask as they consider cloud adoption:

• How does shifting work to the cloud make it possible to reimagine my business?
• How do I make the right cloud choices for my organization?
• In switching to the cloud, do I have to get rid of my legacy infrastructure?
• Do we have the skills to take advantage of the cloud?
• Can I really trust my data in the cloud?

Cloud is too important to a business’s fundamental competitiveness to be treated as an IT program. It’s about creating a platform for the efficiency, innovation, and growth that will determine the future success of the business.

That is why it is vital for CEOs to become intimately involved in their organizations’ cloud decisions and journeys.

Join Karthik & Jim, and HBR  to learn more about how your organization can use the cloud to achieve your goals.
