Facilitating seamless execution for leadership teams through proactive business and project management.
THE CLIENT
A Fortune 500 technology leader known for its suite of enterprise software solutions, cloud services, AI advancements, and developer tools.
Within this organization, the client’s Cloud Business and Market Strategy team leads global strategy, market analysis, and competitive intelligence to keep the company at the forefront of cloud innovation. Its mission is to equip cloud marketing leaders with strategic insights that drive long-term growth, shape product strategy, and inform leadership and Board decisions in partnership with the Corporate Strategy and Architecture (CSA) team.
THE CHALLENGE
A global Cloud Business and Marketing Strategy team at a Fortune 500 technology company drives strategic initiatives, competitive readiness, and market insights to strengthen the tech company’s position in the cloud market. Their high-impact deliverables include a 1-day SLA on Strategic Compete Updates, the monthly Trend Watch series on AI industry developments, and quarterly memos to the Board of Directors.
However, without a dedicated business manager, the team struggled with fragmented communications, inconsistent planning rhythms, and reactive operations. Leadership was burdened with administrative coordination, reducing focus on strategic priorities. Dura Digital was brought in to provide embedded business and project management support to streamline operations, improve alignment, and enable the team to operate at peak efficiency, focus on high-priority strategic work, and ensure smooth day-to-day operations across high-stakes initiatives.
THE SOLUTION
Dura Digital embedded within the client’s Cloud Business and Market Strategy team to deliver operational support to keep high-priority initiatives on track. By driving proactive workback planning and tracking, Dura Digital helped the team uphold its 1-day SLA on Strategic Compete Updates and deliver timely executive briefings, including Cloud Trend Watch and Board of Directors updates. While daily support was remote, monthly onsite visits enhanced collaboration, strengthened communication, and ensured alignment across stakeholders through in-person planning and team-building sessions. Coordination with peer business managers ensured smooth leadership standups and skip-level sessions, while consistent Rhythm of Business (ROB) management reduced friction and enabled the team to stay focused, agile, and aligned.
