Making Cloud Transformation Stick in UK Financial Services

 

From Measurable Outcomes to Operational Resilience

 

The Core Challenge

UK financial services organisations have moved past whether to adopt cloud — the pressing question now is how to make cloud transformation deliver measurable outcomes, maintain operational resilience, and uphold regulatory confidence.

As banks and insurers accelerate cloud modernisation, they face complex challenges: aligning transformation with PRA and FCA expectations, maintaining traceability and governance, and scaling operations across federated teams in a way that creates real business value — not just technical change.

This exclusive, invitation-only roundtable brings together senior leaders from across the UK FSI landscape to explore how organisations are making cloud transformation stick in regulated environments.

What You’ll Learn & Discuss

Turning Cloud Modernisation into Measurable Outcomes

Cloud programmes often prioritise activity over impact. In this session, we’ll explore how leaders are:

  • Connecting cloud KPIs to operational performance and customer outcomes

  • Gaining portfolio-level visibility across modernisation efforts

  • Applying adaptive governance models that balance speed and control

  • Leveraging the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Jira Align, Confluence, Compass) for measurable delivery transparency and value tracking

From Cloud Strategy to Operational Resilience

Cloud adoption must align with regulatory expectations and board-level assurance. We’ll discuss:

  • Lessons from UK FSI transformation initiatives under PRA and FCA resilience frameworks

  • Building traceability and transparency that regulators and executives can trust

  • Common pitfalls like fragmented governance and unclear accountability

  • How robust tooling and evidence-based practices help satisfy audit and regulatory requirements

 

Delivering Change at Scale in a Regulated Context

Large-scale transformation is as much about people and culture as it is about technology. We’ll cover:

  • Shifting from project-centric approaches to product-led delivery

  • Orchestrating change across federated business units

  • Embedding agility and accountability using modern toolchains

  • Creating a shared delivery language across teams with Atlassian tools
