Digital Transformation is About People!

Cloud adoption is imperative for all organizations, but few are having success with it. The reality is that digital transformation is not easy and it involves more than obtaining the latest technology.

People are what makes digital transformation succeed. What kind of people? People committed to lifelong learning are supported by their workplaces to leverage digital thinking, technology, and processes to bring about digital transformation.

Companies that equip their workforce with the necessary knowledge, training, and executive support lay the groundwork for successful cloud adoption.

The Global Cloud Skills v-Tour, presented by the Leading Learning Partners Association (The LLPA), is the perfect catalyst to make cloud adoption less of a mystery and more of a reality for more companies across regions and industries. At this event, company leaders can learn from keynote speakers what the future of learning looks like in organizations and how they can harness learning and technology to be future-ready.

The Global Cloud Skills v-Tour is a part of an exclusive C3 event series. C3 stands for “C to the power of 3” representing a cloud certification circle model that comprises training, certification, reporting, and support services. It was introduced by the LLPA in 2019 and aims to accelerate cloud computing knowledge worldwide. The international edition of the C3 event takes place online on 9 and 10 June.

Why company leaders, universities, CTOs, IT, cloud, data & AI, and developer professionals are attending

It’s a fact that the pandemic has accelerated cloud adoption, but it’s also a fact that, for many enterprises, cloud adoption has not gone smoothly. An event like the C3 Cloud Skills v-Tour, with all the information it offers through cloud experts and learning professionals, is coming at just the right time to restore faith in cloud adoption.

More than 2,000 training professionals, business decision-makers, HR professionals, and Azure experts from all over the world will share their knowledge and expertise about the latest role-based training and certifications, skilling initiatives, skills plans’ and learning pathways. The aim is to show how to unlock cloud solutions through Azure and what training and skills it will require of workers.

In particular, cloud computing and Azure enable enterprises to build their own targeted applications at a pace that meets consumer expectations. Again, the tech alone won’t accomplish this – what’s needed is teams of qualified and certified professionals. At this event, attendees will learn how to build the right teams through training and certifications so that they can make the best of Azure.
