Masterclass: The 6 decisions that quietly destroy cloud ROI
- Date 30 Mar 2026
- Filed under Events
Join us for a live 45‑minute executive masterclass examining the decisions made early in cloud programs that shape cost, complexity and outcomes long after migration.
This masterclass is intended for senior technology and transformation leaders who are:
- Planning or governing a cloud migration
- Inheriting an existing or partially built cloud environment
- Accountable for cost control, operational stability, and long‑term cloud value
You’ll go away with clarity on the early strategic and quality considerations that shape a successful AWS migration – across workload selection, landing zone design, security and identity alignment, cost structure planning – and the role of continuous quality engineering throughout the lifecycle.

What we’ll cover
Cloud ROI is rarely destroyed by one obvious mistake. More often, it erodes quietly and surfaces as cost overruns, governance friction and stalled modernisation. And the cause? Not the cloud. It’s the decisions that are commonly made early, that are rarely challenged, and frequently responsible for long‑term underperformance.
Want in on the secret recipe for success?
Don’t miss this 45-minute masterclass led by NRI’s leading Cloud and Migration expert, Mark Telkes, alongside Testing and Quality Engineering expert, Chris Jepp from Planit. We’ll also be joined by special guests from AWS as we come together to discuss how risks can be recognised and removed earlier to ensure cloud value – long after go-live.
Agenda
Early architectural patterns that quietly shape cost and control
How certain design patterns tend to create compounding cost, duplicated capability, and governance gaps — often before teams recognise the impact.
Deciding what really belongs in the cloud — and what doesn’t
Why workload selection decisions made early can be difficult to reverse, and how misalignment here often undermines business value later.
When foundational principles are applied — and when they aren’t
The subtle difference between environments guided by clear architectural intent and those shaped reactively as decisions accumulate.
Structural choices that lock in future flexibility — or constraint
How early decisions around accounts, access, networking and guardrails tend to influence scalability, security posture and operating effort over time.
Timing choices that create momentum — or technical drag
Why decisions about when to change, modernise, or leave things as‑is often have more impact than the changes themselves.
How quality is treated early — and what that signals later
What happens when validation and assurance are embedded early versus deferred, and how this shapes confidence, speed and risk through migration.
