Daniel Slater, Worldwide Head, Culture of Innovation at Amazon Web Services shared some insights from Amazon’s Culture of Innovation and how to organize for it.
Here are some excerpts from the session:
How do we organize for Innovation?
1) Culture: Be obsessed with the customer; then build a belief system that revolves around serving your customer.
2) Mechanisms: Encode behaviors that facilitate innovative thinking.
3) Architecture: Develop a technical structure and tools to support rapid growth and change.
4) Organization: Create small and empowered teams that own what they create.
What is your response to the rapid pace of change around us? The best response is to learn and adapt. Here is how we can help your organization adapt to ongoing disruptions and thrive amid challenging times through our Adaptive Leadership Signature Program that addresses the past culture, while building the teams’ capacity to create a new future.
