Workplace transformation isn’t a new phenomenon: it’s a trend that’s been around for some time. But the speed at which this transformation is now taking place is unprecedented. Following the breakout of the ‘great resignation’ late last year, companies were quick to turn inward to reassure employees of the company’s purpose and ambitions. The deep dive showed more than just employee happiness but how the impact on the customer was far greater.
The challenge within this short-lived consolidation is how emerging technology is used to enhance culture rather than as a shortcut to achieve it. Virtual employees are complaining about feeling like 2nd class citizens to their office based counterparts despite choosing their own flexibility. Innovation is suffering as it is hard to get IT teams to collaborate on the levels required and key talent is still getting disconnected from the ultimate outcomes their organization are requiring for customers.
This roundtable explores the following key questions:
•What are the key considerations for building culture in today’s IT organizations and wider workplaces?
•What can organizations achieve when experiences across the organization are connected with seamless, consumer-grade tech that breaks down departmental silos?

Cloud has been described as the ‘unsung hero’ of the last 2 years. Cloud transformation is now center of broader business strategy, meeting the needs of today and anticipating the challenges of tomorrow.
However, speeding up the deployment of new applications brings new risk, challenge of workload placement and creating complexity. That’s why it’s more important than ever for businesses to take stock of the applications they are implementing, ensuring they add value, form a cohesive ecosystem and deliver immediate return.
Key discussion points:
•As new digital channels and workplace strategies consolidate, how do you recognize which innovations to embrace and which existing systems to retain?
•How can you better manage providers and make data actionable?
•How do you streamline cloud decisions while saving money?

ITOps need to be Engineering led in MultiCloud World - While infrastructure has evolved from on-prem to cloud, application architectures have evolved from client-server to Cloud-native and development practices have evolved from Waterfall to Lean Agile/ DevOps, operations is still siloed and stuck in the past at many organizations. An integrated approach to cloud workload management leveraging Site Reliability Engineering principles and a product-oriented approach to run operations is MUST to manage the complexity with the multicloud, Hybrid cloud distributed environments . If you are already on Cloud or thinking to migrate to cloud, Adithya will share how you should be thinking about designing for reliability, cost and performance while you run cloud workloads to optimize.

When we try to advance our careers, getting assigned tasks done will not get us promoted to the next level. The next level of leadership requires more innovation and creativity, which is harder to achieve when you are simply a virtual person behind a screen.
