What does the Cloud Shift Second Edition include?
The Cloud Shift Second Edition provides a 60+ file digital playbook delivered by email, containing PDFs, XLSX spreadsheets and TXT onboarding notes. It includes a master operations playbook, a 90-day adoption roadmap, 668 self-assessment questions, a seven-domain maturity matrix, implementation templates, dashboards, anti-pattern catalogues and all supporting guides required to assess, plan and execute a successful cloud transformation.
Are you watching cloud projects stall, budgets balloon and senior leadership lose confidence because organisational mis-alignment, vague investment criteria and missing executive sponsorship are hidden behind the technology? Without a structured way to assess and govern cloud adoption you risk shadow-IT growth, compliance breaches, failed migrations and costly audit findings. The Cloud Shift Second Edition is the decisive playbook that stops those risks in their tracks and puts you in control of a successful cloud transformation.
