lack of vision, lack of IT skills, lack of willingness to take risk

Mandraulic processes and lack of digital skills. Digital transformation with formal & informal processes is tough to do effectively.

Uncertainty and variability is a major hindrance to digital transformation. Increased knowledge will create improved technology; social behaviors, economic models and policies to secure trust from the public.

the skills issue has to be the biggest one

Leave it to @jeffdaniels to use a SAT word like "mandraulic" ;)

No business process is an island - aligning the application to technology and to the culture is the journey.

. As we go through a digital transformation; we are learning from models and experiences to generate assets that have specificity, measurements that are traceable, auditable, and reusable, and governance processes that detect variability and lowe

because there is not only a global shortage but the major players can pay for the best talent

Truth @angelluisdiaz -> http://bit.ly/1SOKxM...

Discipline is improving in the digital era because we have more assets, empirical knowledge, and data to better understand what is needed for the digital transformation.

@BenAmaba Really going point - clear metrics show both the value of transformation and can be used to accelerate projects down the road.

so it is more challenging for everyone else

due to mandraulicsupercalifragilisticexpialidociousness

Lack of vision and not understanding the cultural change that needs to go with it

@BenAmaba With "Uncertainty" comes opportunity - leveraging cloud and process innovation helps target the opportunity side.

The human aspect and social sciences will play a major role in the transformation.

Agree @cloudmunch cultural change might be harder than the technical solution!

@BenAmaba Absolutely. For most organizations, it is the bottleneck

Culture is hard to measure and predict.

for the average vertical, it seems like there is also a lack of IT-enabled visioning...after all, why didn't taxi companies do what Uber did before it existed

So glad I'm not the only one wondering what "mandraulic processes" are @IBMcloud @joeweinman, @angelluisdiaz, @JeffDaniels & @benamaba! :)

@jeffdaniels Automation is key - but at the same we need to take care and (1) automate with multi-clouds in mind and (2) automate in a way that does not create new silos or black art.

Multi-Cloud, automation + no lock-in are the key mantra for the flexibility needed for continuous evolution

Fear. Security. Ideas that go beyond the limitations of our current technology.

fear, uncertainty, doubt @50ShadesofCloud

Knowledge combined with discipline will improve trust for public cloud providers. The outcome will be better processes for prevention, isolation and remediation coupled with improved technology; social behaviors, economic models and policies

all the hackers need to go on vacation

Demonstration, putting the cloud tools in the hands of catalysts in the organization.

the challenge is that cloud may be insecure, but so are private cloud and noncloud implementations

NIST has established a basic framework and definitions to establish a foundation for Cloud technology. The details are still developing and will continue

Trust, data and security - loaded terms. I always boils down to the workload type, where to start and how to grow.

it's a fallacy to think that cloud is more insecure than internal...everything is insecure

and, cloud providers have numerous advantages, such as higher bandwidth to protect against DDoS attacks

professional licensing for software engineers may provide a baseline method, framework, and expertise that can be applied to cloud technology to grow adequate resources to manage a hybrid cloud environment.

@joeweinman I agree - folks need to have a clear understanding of the application, constrains and needs. With that clear trust grows.

There's a great blog post looming in here @joeweinman --

One barrier to entry for the cloud is data categorization, data governance, and risk management....it's the uncertainty that @AngelLuisDiaz mentions

@amyhermes Pick me pls.

AND, better skills and security ops center coverage for zero-day vulnerabiliies, etc.

The key requirements to building trust in public clouds are 1) Transparency 2) Fine grained control to end users so that they can ensure their governance needs themselves

concur on the software engineering baseline and framework @BenAmaba

Agree. Specificity, traceability and the ability to audit both the leading and lagging indicators of cloud performance.

@joeweinman We should not be afraid to invite hackers to actually make applicatoins more secure - seen many clients do this.

@angelluisdiaz In fact, bounty programs should be a norm than an exception

@jeffdaniels data categorization and segmentation - the world is hybrid - one can just send the pieces of the data that is needed.

"The world is hybrid" -- love it @angelluisdiaz

Time

I'll be overviewing my new book, Digital Disciplines

... autographed copies for all your friends @joeweinman :)

AND, thanks to IBM, most attendees will be getting an autographed copy of the book

We will cover how cloud technology planets can come together in a constellation that delivers better business outcomes - that is what makes up a cloud without limits.

To register for "Performance without Limits" on May 20th in NYC, visit http://ibm.co/1q2z5W... // @IBMcloud

briefly, it addresses the use of cloud and related technologies such as big data and analytics, mobile, social and the internet of things to develop unparalleled customer value

@joeweinman Pick me pls!

BOOKS FOR EVERYONE @joeweinman @angelluisdiaz :)

I will sign your copy of the book, @AngelLuisDiaz for a special fee

@angelluisdiaz Specifically what's needed to have choice with consistency in a Hybrid world!

100 books will be handed out so get there early...see you Friday

Great job!! glad to be a part of it #PerformanceCloud

If you’d like to hear more, @JoeWeinman and @AngelLuisDiaz appeared on a recent podcast to preview the event here: http://ibm.co/1TCSGC...

I'll be doing a keynote the morning before in Shanghai...

...so this will be the first time that I sleep through my own keynote

usually it's only the audience

First time I've heard of "sleep-keynoting" @joeweinman :)

It will be a hybrid of a cloudy mind and sleepkeynoting
