Cloud Strategy Workshop
A facilitated workshop that turns "we should do more with Azure" into a multi-year adoption roadmap, built on the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. You leave with a phased, sequenced plan you can act on and take to the board — in days, not months.
Fixed scope, fixed price — quoted on enquiry.
You'll recognise the situation.
- You're planning or expanding Azure adoption and want a plan, not a pilot that stalls.
- You need a roadmap the board will understand and sign off.
- You have landing-zone, governance or operating-model decisions to make.
- You have migrations to plan and want them sequenced sensibly.
How it runs.
Typically two to three days of workshops, plus write-up. Confirmed when we scope it.
Before — Preparation
A short questionnaire and a stakeholder list, so the workshop starts from your reality, not a template.
Session 1 — Where you are
Current state, business drivers, constraints and the outcomes you actually need.
Session 2 — Where you are going
Landing zone, governance, security and operating model; the approach to migration and modernisation.
After — Write-up
We turn the sessions into a prioritised, sequenced roadmap and a board-ready summary.
The deliverable.
- A written Azure adoption roadmap: phased and sequenced, not a wish list.
- A landing-zone and governance recommendation.
- A decisions-and-risks log from the sessions.
- A board-ready summary you can present without translating it first.
What's in it.
- 01Executive summary
- 02Business drivers and constraints
- 03Target operating model
- 04Landing zone and governance
- 05Security and compliance (including NIS2)
- 06Migration and modernisation approach
- 07Phased roadmap and sequencing
- 08Decisions and risks
Prerequisites.
- The right people in the room: architecture, security, operations, and someone who can make decisions.
- The pre-workshop questionnaire completed.
- Read access to the current estate, if we need to see it.
What it isn't.
- It is not the build — delivering any phase is a separate engagement.
- It is not a detailed migration inventory or discovery exercise.
- It is not a licensing or commercial negotiation.
What happens next.
You leave with a roadmap you can act on and take to the board. We can deliver any phase — a landing zone, a migration, a security programme — as a separate fixed-scope engagement.
Frequently asked.
- How long does it take?
- Typically two to three days of workshops plus the write-up. We confirm the exact shape when we scope it.
- Who should attend?
- Architecture, security and operations, plus someone who can make decisions. A roadmap nobody can sign off is just a document.
- Remote or on-site?
- Either. The workshop works well remotely or in person, whichever suits your team.
- Do we get something for the board?
- Yes. A board-ready summary is part of the deliverable, written to be presented as-is.
- Is this the Cloud Adoption Framework?
- Yes. The roadmap is built on the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, tailored to your drivers and constraints.
- Does it include the build?
- No. The workshop produces the plan. Delivering any phase of it is a separate fixed-scope engagement.
- What does it cost?
- Fixed scope, fixed price — quoted on enquiry.
