How to Navigate the Sea of "No"
summary
Great American Insurance Group adopts Cloud Foundry and a culture shift to cut delivery from weeks to minutes, claiming about 215% faster throughput on pilot work. The rollout uses a gated funding plan, volunteer teams with pairing, a measured before/after baseline, rebranded practices as “cloud native development,” and exhaustive business cases that include all costs. Early projects save money and speed delivery, executive involvement increases adoption, and the program scales cautiously by repeating what works.
