David will discuss the four phases of the Value Flywheel (finding Clarity of Purpose, Creating a Safe Environment for Challenge, Serverless First and Next Best Action and Long-Term Value with the Well-Architected Framework) and how leaders can use the Wardley Mapping technique to create an effective modern cloud strategy.
