Attention is the scarcest resource in the boardroom, so to claim some, the conversation proffered had better concern something board members care about, such as risk, growth, innovation, or crisis.
Why Cloud Governance Belongs in the Boardroom - Aitechpark
How confidence in the cloud can deliver the disproportionate value the board demands. Any conversation that makes it to the board better be good.
Attention is the scarcest resource in the boardroom, so to claim some, the conversation proffered had better concern something board members care about, such as risk, growth, innovation, or crisis. Topics of this gravitas tend to get past the pre-filtering layers of executive committees working to preserve the board’s precious time for the things that matter most. I am going to make the case that cloud governance is a conversation that exceeds this bar and belongs squarely in the boardroom, and I will explain why, and what that conversation should look like.
Positioning the Cloud Correctly
Before we dive into cloud governance, it is critical that the boardroom has shared purpose, context, and urgency regarding the cloud and the role it plays in fueling their digital ambition. Given the significant influence leaders at this altitude have, it’s worthwhile to ensure there is a common cloud point of view, and that levels of technology acumen are sufficient to make informed, strategic decisions on what matters most.
