5. Equating a cloud strategy with “we’re moving everything to the cloud” 

6. Our cloud strategy is our data center strategy/it’s “all in” or nothing 

7. Our strategy is by executive mandate 

8. We’re a shop so that’s our cloud strategy/we need a single vendor cloud strategy 

9. Outsourcing your cloud strategy 

10. We are “cloud-first” and that is our strategy
