What's the future of cloud? It's decentralized and quantum
What’s the future of cloud? No one really knows, but it’s the job of futurists to try to predict it. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Deloitte’s Chief Futurist, Mike Bechtel, about where cloud may be headed. Mike’s take is that, over the next five to ten years, decentralized cloud and quantum computing will make a huge impact on cloud and how companies use cloud as a force multiplier for innovation. The catch? Companies must be bold and take calculated risks to get there.
But the old idiom, you want to get a quantum leap, yeah, you've got to go against the grain. You've got to be a little bit bold. But you do it in a way that's risk managed.

Mike sees futurism as a practical and strategic discipline, helping leaders harness tailwinds, avoid headwinds, and arrive at their preferred tomorrow slightly ahead of schedule.
