Cloud Realities – the podcast series

Exploring both the practical realities and the exciting alternative realities that can be unleashed through cloud-driven transformation and cloud-native living and working.

In each episode, our hosts Dave Chapman, Sjoukje Zaal and Rob Kernahan talk to cloud leaders and practitioners to understand how previously untapped business value can be released, how to deal with the challenges and risks that come with bold ventures, and how human experience factors into all of this. They cover topics ranging from smart industry, customer experience, and sustainability, to Gen AI and data, cyber, cost, leadership, talent and, of course, tech.

This week, Dave, Esmee and Rob talk to Pranati Dave, Practice Director @ Everest Group,

We are back!  In this opening episode we meet our new host and chat about the exciting things coming in Season 4.

To provide a way in for new listeners, we also take a step back and discuss what we actually mean by ‘practical and exciting alternate realities that can be unleashed through Cloud-driven Transformation’, what reflections we have on this from looking at it

over the last three seasons and how this sets up Season 4.

Finally, we are very keen this season to establish a feedback loop with listeners, so will be doing shows exploring listener questions and challenges – something we are really looking forward to. 

Please get in touch with us, via LinkedIn or cloudrealities@capgemini.com, if you have questions or challenges for us, we’d love to hear from you!

TLDR:

  • 00:45 Meeting Esmee!
  • 10:50  What else is new in Season 4?
  • 14:12  Exploring Cloud-driven transformation
  • 27:19  Psychological safety in the workplace
  • 33:30 What we’re excited about doing next in Season 4
