Module 1 Introduction to Digital Transformation with Google Cloud
Lesson 1:
Why cloud technology is
revolutionizing business
This module introduces cloud
technology as a paradigm
shift and explains how it’s
irrevocably transforming
businesses globally. It deﬁnes
the fundamental ingredients
of cloud
technology—compute power
and data—and how they can
be used to create new value
within a business.
Lesson 2:
Digital Transformation
with Google Cloud
Businesses might be at
different stages in their digital
transformation journey.
Google Cloud has identiﬁed
common opportunities and
challenges that necessitate
the use of cloud technology.
Similarly, Google Cloud offers
solutions categorized
according to these
challenges and opportunities.
Lesson 3:
Scaling the innovation
mindset
Cloud is not just about a
technological transformation;
it requires transforming the
way we work, too. This
module begins with an
overview of six focus areas
for an organizational
transformation and then
hones in on the sixth:
innovation.
Summary
This module provides a
summary of the key points
covered in each module and
next steps you can take to
continue your learning.

The technology and processes needed to store, manage, and access data that is
transferred over the “cloud.”

organizations grow

Cloud providers have invested in their own global
IT infrastructures

Discussion

What is a digital transformation?
When an organization takes
advantage of new technologies,
such as cloud, to redesign and
redeﬁne relationships with
their customers, employees,
and partners. This change
creates new business value and
opportunities.

What is the “burning platform” effect?

Which industries have been disrupted by
new technology?
Discussion

Examples of traditional industry disruptions Discussion

The risk of disregarding cloud technology

The adoption of cloud technology
is not about survival, it’s about thriving

Cloud technology can help your business thrive
● Secure and fast app development
● Moving from capital expenditure (CapEx)
to operational expenditure (OpEx)
● Saving costs and generating new value
● Modernizing company infrastructure
● Gaining insights from data
● Solving business problems faster

Examples of companies leveraging technological
capabilities to revolutionize industries

What is the Internet of Things?
The “Internet of Things,” or
“IoT,” refers to everyday objects
or devices that are connected
to the internet and are able to
send and receive data.
The Internet of Things

Computing data to build statistical models that predict
and anticipate complex behaviors

The cloud delivers high-performance
analytics to improve business operations

Automate processes and create
real-time collaboration

What is compute power?
Computing is the ability to
process information and
automate tasks most often
done by a computer program.
Compute power refers to the
speed at which a computer is
able to process data.

Computing landscape changed from
institutions to individuals

New processors have limitations

Compute power is generated in industrial
plants, accessed through a grid

Data is the second core ingredient
for digital transformation. We can now...
● Generate much more data
● Process more data
● Access data in realtime
● Gain more accurate insights from data
● Train machines to make predictions, categorize,
automate processes, and more

Challenge of embracing the cloud:
changing the way you work

Customer expectations have changed

Two core focus areas for modernization
Infrastructure
Applications

Infrastructure modernization
A common term used to
describe the process of
replacing legacy hardware and
systems and consolidating
them in the cloud.
Infrastructure
modernization

Infrastructure modernization
Implementing new governance
and security policies
Challenges:
Business-critical applications running
on-premises are hard to move to the cloud
Running a hybrid model adds
an extra layer of complexity
Integrating multiple systems across
several platforms is complicated

Infrastructure modernization:
Scaling in the cloud

Application modernization
The term ‘application’ is widely
used to refer to programs and
software that enable people to
perform various digital tasks.
What is an application?

The migration of existing or
legacy on-premises
applications to new
applications or platforms in the
cloud, including the integration
of new functionality and
architectures.
What is application
modernization?

API
Application programming
interfaces, commonly known as
APIs, are technical tools that
enable integration between
applications.

Exercise
Practice identifying the two core modernization
areas (infrastructure, application) using case
studies.

A real estate agency wants to transition their
listings portfolio from in-oﬃce to online. When
sellers upload information about new properties
to their central application, the agency wants
that information to be instantly available on their
website, so that buyers can easily view and
search available properties. Which
modernization area best ﬁts their needs?
Example 1

Why? It looks like this agency wants to
modernize their central application so that their
customers have instant access to services from
anywhere, with new digital features.
Example 1
Answer: Application modernization

A global bank would like to take advantage of
high-performance cloud computing without fully
giving up its extensive legacy hardware systems
and data storage. Which modernization area
best ﬁts their needs?
Example 2

Why? It looks like this business is looking for a
hybrid cloud model. They might use multiple
cloud providers or just one, and still maintain
some of their on-premises servers to process
and store data.
Example 2
Answer: Infrastructure modernization

A language tutoring company noticed increased
usage of their vocabulary smartphone game.
They decided to introduce new features to
capitalize on this, such as real-time
leaderboards and live competition with other
users. Which modernization area best ﬁts the
way they have adapted?
Example 3

Why? This company is modernizing their central
mobile application. This enables their customers
to interact with each other in real-time, and
requires instant access to up-to-date data.
Example 3
Answer: Application modernization

To foster a culture of innovation, Google
created three simple rules:
Focus on the user Think 10X Launch and iterate

Focus on the user
Focus on the user
has two dimensions:
Who they are: paying
customers, those outside
the business and
employees.
What they expect.

Focus on the user
To help you narrow down the scope of your user’s
expectations, consider the following focus areas:
Access
1
Communication
4

Focus on the user
Users expect faster and easier
services, with ‘always-on’
capabilities, that can be
accessed anywhere.
Access
1

Focus on the user
Users expect a product or service
to seamlessly adapt to their
individual needs and preferences.
Customization
2

Focus on the user
Users are looking for sources of
valuable content. They expect
up-to-date, reliable content from
multiple ﬁelds of expertise.
Engagement
3

Focus on the user
Users expect to be able to
communicate with service
providers through a two-way
feedback channel. This means
that the company also engages
in conversation.
Communication

Think 10X
10X thinking is about prioritizing
transformation over improvement
and using technology to achieve
that transformation.

Psychological safety
Organizational behavioral
scientist, Amy Edmondson of
Harvard, ﬁrst introduced the
construct of “team
psychological safety.”
A shared belief, held by members
of a team, that the team is safe for

The prototyping effect
The more ideas you try, the
more you learn, and the more
you eventually succeed.
What is the
prototyping effect?

Exam practice question
Let’s practice answering a sample CDL
certiﬁcation exam question.

Your organization offers a service to retail businesses: you
give recommendations to their customers of other products
they might want to buy, based on their past behavior. The
current machine learning solution, hosted on-premises, is
not satisfactory. You want reliable scalability, managed
services, and pay-per-use pricing. What should your
organization do?
A. Migrate your services to more powerful computers.
B. Migrate your services to a public cloud.
C. Get more internet bandwidth.
D. Optimize your algorithms.
Question 1

Why? It is the solution that allows you to beneﬁt
from the pay-as-you-go model, a variety of
compute options, and managed services that can
scale your existing machine learning algorithms.
Answer: B) Migrate your
services to a public cloud.
