The Art of Reinvention: Pivoting Strategy to Drive Innovation

Now, more than ever, innovation is vital to creating and maintaining differentiation. Sometimes, that means needing to make pivots in the form of a shifting business strategy or change in approach to customer engagement. Enabling pivots are easier said than done, and effective ones require a clear understanding of business priorities, rapid decision making, leadership alignment, and resourcing.

Join us to hear Ishit Vachhrajani, AWS Enterprise Strategist, discuss with Bettina Stix, Director of Amazon in the Community, about best practices she’s learned over her 20+ years at Amazon and how it’s sometimes necessary to pivot strategy in order to drive innovation and deliver for customers.

Topics include:

Defining innovation at your organization and how to balance current priorities with growth priorities
Digital as a business strategy mechanism
Creating an environment that allows people to innovate
How to employ best practices for innovation within different organizations to innovate faster, and at scale
Navigating pivots in strategy to solve problems, delight customers, and bring big ideas to life
