Last week I sat across the table from the top 3 executives of a large national US bank, who essentially concluded that they were ready for the future because they had invested in “Cloud Architecture”. “Cloud”, how is that alone going to address your strategic goals as an entire organization for the next two decades? I asked. Nobody responded.

Today by far every Discussion about technology is assumed to be the discussion about the future. You could not be wrong than that. The world today is so filled with buzz that separating hype from reality I’m getting executives to understand that technology is definitely a priority but unless the organization comes together as a whole, progress will never happen.
