When Technology Limits Growth: Rethinking the Case for the Cloud
In today’s fast‑moving environment, growth depends on speed, adaptability, and the ability to act on insight in real time. Yet many organizations are quietly constrained by legacy technology—and by hesitation to change systems that feel familiar, even when they no longer support the business.
Companies often delay cloud migration as a cost‑control decision. In reality, outdated systems can slow innovation, obscure data, and create friction for teams already under pressure to do more. Resistance doesn’t just appear in IT plans—it shows up as organizational drag and individual backlash against change that feels poorly explained or imposed.
Why are organizations slow to adopt technologies they know they need? And how can leaders move past both technical constraints and human resistance to unlock growth already within reach?
In this HBR Insights webinar, veteran technology experts, Deborah Perry Piscione and Stephanie Kinser will explore how legacy technology drives hidden revenue leakage—and why adoption challenges persist even when the business case is clear. They’ll examine how leaders can reframe cloud adoption as a growth and value‑creation decision, not just an IT upgrade.
In addition, they will discuss:
