Strategy ideation workshop Ideation – the process of forming ideas We will work together to define or assess and refine your cloud strategy Define goals and desired outcomes you expect from your cloud Use this information to feed your “living” cloud lifecycle roadmap that will help realize those outcomes Adoption goals Cloud outcomes Cloud Lifecycle Roadmap Feed
Cloud lifecycle roadmap Process Flow Overview Cloud lifecycle roadmap Cloud strategy Roadmap co-planning Cloud goals Cloud outcomes Roadmap deliverable Align with strategy Identify measurable success Identify Initiatives Feed roadmap Increase cloud returns through automation Gain insights from our IP with data insights and machine learning Facilitate Mergers and Acquisitions Co-creation effort to define specific expected results from cloud goals High level initiative discovery to support YOUR outcomes. Co-creation effort during workshop. Microsoft offsite defines projects necessary to support defined strategy and updates “living” cloud lifecycle roadmap
Cloud Goals
Your cloud adoption lifecycle Your cloud lifecycle should support continual improvement through periodic realignment with organizational strategy and evaluation of optimization and innovation opportunities Execute Outcomes and Benefits Analysis Optimize and Innovate Cloud Strategy Lifecycle Roadmap Let’s talk about your cloud adoption goals: The goals you expect to achieve through cloud Where your current level of cloud adoption has succeeded, and where there is room for improvement
Cloud adoption goals When discussing goals keep in mind: Alignment with organizational strategy – what are your imperatives for the year? How can we map to them? Innovation opportunities Optimization opportunities Goals should large and overarching with traceability to organizational strategy Some example adoption goals Increase cloud returns through automation Gain insights from our data with data insights and machine learning Enhance our enterprise mobility capabilities Connect our LOB assets to IoT services to improve business intelligence Facilitate mergers and acquisitions through cloud adoption Embrace DevOps throughout our people and processes

Cloud outcomes
Cloud outcomes Cloud outcomes are measurable results We will utilize an outcome template to capture each outcome during this exercise Outcomes should map to goals. If they do not consider re-evaluating the outcome and/or the goals Outcomes are results based and we will document key performance indicators to measure their success Outcomes are NOT projects
Cloud outcome template Description Outcome name Priority: Here we will place a brief description of the outcome or service desired HIGH MEDIUM LOW Benefits Aligned adoption goals Key performance Indicators Here we highlight the expected benefits Here we highlight the adoption goals Here we highlight how we intend to measure success of this outcome
Cloud outcome example Cloud Workflow Automation Priority: HIGH Description Cloud Workflow Automation Priority: Automate processes in our cloud workflow HIGH Benefits Aligned adoption goals Key performance indicators Reduce costs Reduce time to value Increase responsiveness Increase efficiency Increase our cloud returns through automation Automate the following key costly processes in our cloud workflow: X Y Z
