Topic:
Architecting Innovation: From Startup Mentality to Global Impact

Synopsis:
Explore the transformative principles driving world-class innovation in modern organizations. This session is inspired by Amazon's culture of innovation. Amazon's approach has remained consistent since its founding: start with the customer and work backwards.

Join us to learn how Amazon innovates through four distinct yet interdependent elements: Culture, Mechanisms, Architecture, and Organization. We will dive deep into specific aspects of Amazon's culture, including leadership principles, the working backwards mechanism, two-pizza teams, to name a few.
