This boardroom will explore how CIOs move technology funding and delivery from rigid project-based models to one focused on products, innovation, continuous delivery and stakeholder engagement.
Join this session to:
- Understand what is driving the need to move from project to product

The Intentional Infrastructure – Cloud Clarity for Greater Outcomes
Hosted by Google Cloud

Jeff Hughes
Chief Information Officer

As the ongoing rush to the cloud continues, many organizations falter because they equate “movement” with “strategy.” Getting the most out of your cloud journey doesn’t automatically follow from a corporate mandate or new vendor contract. Success is the product of clear communication of terms and expectations, alignment with other business processes and functions, and partnerships among multiple internal and external stakeholders.
This session puts strategy in the crosshairs and discusses:
- Creating definitional clarity for your comprehensive approach to cloud to eliminate ambiguity and crystalize the best processes for your organization
- Building adaptability into your strategy so it can be augmented or amplified at any step in the journey to address shifting business needs
- Breaking cloud strategy away from IT and creating cross-functional, business-wide alignment
