It was back in 2009 that Chief Disruptor, (or Nimbus Ninety as it was then known), launched ‘the Cloud Circle’, a new community for business and technology leaders exploring how to leverage this game changing new internet-based technology. Since the community’s launch, cloud computing has proven to be highly transformative, resulting in the development of many disruptive new services and business models such as Uber and Airbnb.
In the 13 years that have passed, adoption of cloud has become widespread among Chief Disruptor members. And in that time it has continued to evolve, partly in response to developments in other disruptive technologies, and more recently, due to the changes in working practices that had been driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.
So what are the latest cloud developments that leaders need to know about? And how can Chief Disruptor members make sure they are making the most of their cloud existing investments? Join us on the 13th October to find out.
