To truly capture the value cloud can provide, you need the right cloud talent approach. Cloud talent is the most transferable technical skillset, with most cloud engineers holding positions for less than two years.

According to ADAPT’s 2022 study of 122 Australian Heads of Cloud and infrastructure, cloud architects are the most in-demand cloud talent.

McKinsey’s Associate Partner, Keerthi Iyengar, explains at CCDC Edge why you can build the cloud talent you need within your existing workforce. This process is half as expensive as hiring someone new, and your talent is three times more likely to stay loyal to your organisation.
