Cloud Capability Navigator

Often cloud adoption doesn’t reach its full potential — legacy architectures and traditional ways of working carry over into cloud environments. This leads to cost inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, and missed opportunities for agility, innovation, and improved service delivery.

The Cloud Capability Navigator provides a structured approach to evaluate where your organisation sits in its cloud journey, identifying gaps and strengths across people, processes, and technology. It helps you articulate a well-defined cloud ambition aligned to your strategic goals and creates a practical roadmap to realise measurable outcomes.
