This product has led to an average reduction in time to operationalise a viable Cloud adoption strategy by 60% among our clients. The Gartner Cloud Adoption Strategy tackles organisational change management aspects as an integral, and up-front, part of our response allowing for a higher level of adoption success. The product provides a unified end-to-end capability drawing on all relevant Gartner Consulting service lines to deliver a full suite of data, toolkits, artefacts and templates to drive faster movement. The strategy establishes and socialises a bedrock of definitions and core concepts and unites stakeholders around a statement of intent tackling the most likely adoption scenario that compares your organisation against appropriate peers.
