Moving to the cloud creates numerous opportunities to start working in
a new way and it empowers the workforce to better collaborate and innovate. But
it’s also a big change. Sometimes the success of the change hinges not on the change
itself, but on how it’s managed.
This course will help people managers to understand
some of the key challenges associated with cloud adoption, and provide them with
a verified in-the-field framework that will assist them in supporting their teams
on the change journey. By addressing the human factor of moving to the cloud, organizations
increase their chances of realizing business objectives and investing in their future
talent.
