What does success look like and does it involve cloud?
You need a clear vision of the desired outcome, for every project, regardless of whether it’s a datacentre consolidation or a full process re-engineering, digital transformation programme.
Cloud is not the business outcome, it is an enabler.

Understand if there is value and if so, which cloud components will you exploit to meet your needs. Cloud does not always parallel with digital transformation, but it mostly does.
Cloud is an enabler for strategic change, be it wholesale digital transformation or a datacentre consolidation. Cloud is not the outcome, clouds are collections of commoditised components which you need to exploit, in order achieve the outcome.
My experience has repeatedly shown digital transformation projects are won and lost because of situational awareness and the conditions in-which plans are incubated.
These vital conditions must exist to achieve your vision
