Being able to generate ideas and being able to execute those ideas effectively are two different things. With the unpredictability of doing business combined with unprecedented speeds in technical innovation, organisations have to move faster than ever before. This has left traditional approaches to executing ideas no longer fit for purpose.
In the face of digital competitors, companies must innovate to safeguard their businesses and grow. But why do we struggle to execute? Look at Xerox, Kodak, Nokia – big names that had “the next big thing” before anyone else yet failed to deliver and found themselves ceding to others. Why?
Underpinning it all is technology – the digital foundation on which everything is built: the infrastructure, apps, services and devices which allow forward looking businesses to beat their competitors to experiment, to scale, to be nimbler at speeds with lower risk. The role of cloud computing in this cannot be underestimated.
There are five core ways that cloud enables organisations to execute.
By being able to change and deliver results rapidly, rather than long term planning, we can turn the established business model into an innovative one. Innovation is king, but a failure to execute is the death knell for any organization. Cloud can help provide the digital foundation to unlock rapid results.
