The implementation of highly scalable, easy-to-deploy technology is transforming the public sector, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Organizations begin their cloud adoption journeys in many ways. Some start with pilot projects and others jump into mission critical programs, but they are all starting with an existing infrastructure. Adopting cloud doesn’t mean scrapping it all and starting over. This session explores how organizations are using cloud while building on their existing technology and lessons they’ve learned along the way.

20. HBX: A Cloud Case Study

21. Key Question @ HBS
Can online learning deliver the rich,
interactive experience of the case method?

22.  Newest division at HBS, tasked with reimagining
business education for the digital age
 First course opened in June 2014 to deliver HBS
experience online
