This week, we dig into how district leaders can recruit and retain a talented, diverse pool of principals. Plus: An unthinkable tragedy shows the limitations of school safety efforts. Hiring great principals—and helping them stick around A career-minded superintendent Young voters' mid-term turnout The most important step a financial institution can take in capturing cloud’s value is building awareness across the organization about the practical value of cloud as distinct from the exciting marketing material from vendors. One route is to use lighthouses to demonstrate the future value potential and make them truly scalable. We find, however, that many institutions use what they call lighthouses as limited-life-span experiments. Persuading them to change that mindset and to treat them instead as “incubators”—which, with the right support and capability building, could be practical at-scale destinations themselves—is a big unlock. The best way to convince a CFO that cloud can reduce total cost of ownership or a business leader that cloud can speed innovation is to demonstrate that it does. Another route is to work with CSPs as partners rather than vendors. Striking strategic deals can lower barriers to entry, especially costs, and signal full-scale commitment to cloud across the organization. This happened at one North American bank, which had been struggling to make much progress in its cloud migration. Technology was leading the charge, but it lacked sufficient investment and a plan for scaling, primarily because it couldn’t win the business’s support. Realizing that this “slow-roll” approach would not scale, the CEO and business leadership got involved. They approached several CSPs to structure a strategic partnership with a primary provider. Not only did they manage to secure significant discounts to offset initial “bubble” costs, but the process also forced the bank to take a more comprehensive approach to its cloud migration in order to take advantage of all the services that the CSP offered. The process also led them to secure a commitment from the CSP to train the bank’s staff on key tools and capabilities and co-invest in innovative propositions that could take advantage of the assets of the CSP’s parent company, such as its ecosystems and marketplaces. When the deal was announced, it was a clear signal internally and externally of the bank’s commitment to the migration, which quickly led many of those who had been resistant to get on board. The bank is now on track to migrate 70 percent of its applications to the cloud within three years. Still another approach is to develop a comprehensive business case built around specific levers and use cases. Those break down into technology benefits in the form of better resiliency, lower maintenance and operations costs, and elastic infrastructure to meet varying demand, as well as business benefits, such as speedier innovation, lowered costs to experiment, and the ability to scale up advanced analytics. In this way, institutions can place less emphasis on the theoretical value of cloud and use the business case as a practical guide to real value, which makes it easier for the organization to understand and support the goals of a migration.
