When there is no buy-in from the C-level to fully understand the benefits of being in the cloud.

Do you mean cloud native, or just going to cloud? Assuming an org is already in the cloud, going cloud native means rebuilding apps to take advantage of cloud, such as taking advantage of serverless. This requires a value assessment, as well as training and engineering expertise, either internal or external.
No org is 'ready' to go to cloud. It needs to be business led, and built on more than just cost efficiencies. Cost of change, staff efficiency and time to value should be measurable in some way

Going from an On-premise to a cloud native solution is a huge lift from the entire organization. The organization isn’t ready if the leadership doesn’t invest in retraining the staff and create space for the organization to experiment and fail early.

If the org is siloed by: server team, network team, and security team, this is an obstacle that must be overcome as these concepts converge in the cloud.

One indication is how willing are they to change processes and use standards across the enterprise

In my experience if the business wants the software to change to match their decades old processes you will be facing a lot of challenges and expensive customization costs that are hard to estimate

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).
