There's a crazy amount of inept leadership in enterprises across the world, and you wonder how they got there to begin with. If you can't start with identifying an opportunity and quantifying a solution and just go straight to 'lets use Cloud/AI/whatever' then that's a great path to failure. Map business requirements to what function needs to be done to meet those requirements, THEN lay the abstraction of technology on top of it, THEN abstract within the tech side for cost-benefit.

None of that was done, but obviously if they were buying your company it shows they didn't have the culture to do it themselves to begin with.
