Get your people ready For Cloud ComputingITpreneurs
Cloud computing is changing the way we work and the way we engage with our customer. Virtually every organization is now exploring their potential for cloud computing, searching for a higher agility, scalability and even new business opportunities.
With the help of cloud computing working becomes more socially interactive and unconstrained to location and time. However, many organizations are still struggling to adopt cloud computing to their full advantage, not anticipating the impact it has on the complete organization. Fear and uncertainty, as a result of a lack of a basic understanding of cloud computing often provokes internal resistance to change.
To help corporations overcome these challenges ITpreneurs, together with a review board of industry-leading organizations (including ING Group, Cisco, EMC, HP, IBM and Virtual Clarity) developed the Cloud Certification Program for IT professionals.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Key Takeaways:
Cloud Appetite: Organizations want to start quickly, but they often forget to build cloud competencies
rst! It’s important to understand how roles and skills will change as a result of the cloud.
Cloud Journey: Getting to cloud adoption is going to be a journey and everyone needs to be involved, IT
and the business. Organizations need to ensure everyone works together to get all stakeholders on board.
Roadmap: Many organizations start with the cloud, without having a complete picture or roadmap. It’s
important to start planning for tomorrow’s IT, today!

3. ING’s IT Strategy
ING set out a cloud strategy that had the potential for substantial savings in cost while also providing for greater
control of IT infrastructure, newer technology, improved stability, and a more agile organization. However, ING
understood that the roles of IT professionals change as a result of adopting a di erent concept for managing IT
services (the cloud), and that cloud has an impact on the people who work in the IT organization.
In order to prepare ING’s IT organization for the future and to manage this transition successfully, ING realized that it is
essential to take the people along and prepare them for the journey. ING adopted an approach whereby they skilled their
sta to gain an understanding of the key principles of virtualization and cloud computing, ensuring that the workforce has
the right skill set and competencies to enable the organization to support the following transformational objectives with
respect to the cloud:
• Transform the competencies of the IT workforce from working in a “traditional” IT department to working in a next-
generation service provider.
• Achieve best-in-class cost ratio as the technology service provider of choice.
• Reduce the risk and complexity inherent in a fragmented data strategy.
• Virtualize to modern, future-proof platforms.
• Build a cloud operating model.
Cloud Implementation Project Analysis
Cloud computing promises a more exible “services” model for IT systems that puts the business unit or customer at the
center of the process. However, this will not happen overnight because the people, processes, and technology need to
support this change. The journey to the cloud includes making changes to the way people work, the types of skills needed in
the organization, and the relationship of the organization and its users with its IT providers. ING’s success in preparing the
organization for the cloud lies in the fact that ING did not treat the journey towards the cloud as an IT-only issue, but rather
involved the entire organization. For that purpose, ING initiated a large-scale awareness and education campaign around their
cloud initiative. The graph below shows ING’s awareness and education program lifecycle, visually, over time.

4. 1. Kick-Off Message
The program was initiated with a video by the CTO. Senior management, including the Head of ING Domestic Banking, also
backed up the program, which showed support from the business – explaining that the organization was going through a
long-term technology change.
2. Internal Campaign
At the same time, ING initiated a number of internal marketing activities to announce the availability of the cloud (training)
program. While the internal marketing campaign was underway, the workforce started with taking the appropriate training,
which was provided by ITpreneurs. The training courses were integrated within the online ING learning platform, allowing
learners from various locations to take the online courses at times most convenient to them.
3. Training
Every employee whose job role was directly a ected by the cloud participated in the awareness and training program.
Project managers, key business managers, and IT relationship managers participated in an Awareness program, focusing
speci cally on the business need, the key concepts, and terminology.
All IT professionals as well as business users with a very large impact on their roles and skills as a result of the cloud
participated in the Cloud Competence Development Program. Those involved in the actual technology side of the cloud,
participated in further specialized courses, such as the Virtualization Foundation Certi cation.
At the time of writing, ING has trained close to 1,500 people to ensure that they are capable of supporting ING’s cloud
strategy. A diagram is included in this section, which outlines in which order the products were used, as well as the audiences
for the courses.
4. Self-Study & Simulation
An essential cloud book, containing additional reading material and case studies, was developed and o ered to those who
completed training. Finally, the virtual business simulation, “Cloud Challenge”, allowed participants to put their obtained
cloud and virtualization knowledge in practice.

5. Conclusion
The complete program was rolled out over a period of several months and has contributed to a rapid understanding
and acceptance of the cloud by the IT workforce and business users.
To date, ING has made great progress with its cloud initiative. Building on its private cloud and preparing to explore the
public cloud o ering:
• A full competence development program was o ered, targeting all relevant stakeholders in the IT organization with
relevant courses. As a result, ING ensured that the competencies were available to support ING’s cloud strategy.
• Increased employability: IT professionals bene ted from an internationally recognized certi cate that adds signi cant
value to their resume and career prospects.
• ING as an innovative IT organization: ING is acting at the forefront of the cloud: Providing training and certifying their IT
workforce as well as preparing them for working in the cloud, which demonstrates the thought leadership of ING in the
cloud domain.

Function: CTO, ING
Statement:
“Establishment of internal cloud competences is so critical to be able to successfully leverage cloud
services — without these, and having the workforce understand them, we’ll never be able to exploit the
marketplace in the right way. Rolling out a comprehensive cloud and virtualization training program,
tailored to ING’s needs, is an integral part of our ambitious IT strategy.”
Name: Sukhbir Jasuja
Function: CEO, ITpreneurs
Statement:
“Of course, having the opportunity to support an organization such as ING is great. But what is most
inspiring is to see such a large organization being very focused and dedicated in making sure that
before embarking on the cloud, the organization is ready for the cloud and that its workforce is able
to support it.”
