Succeeding in Economies of Speed
As the pace of innovation increases, how are organizations transforming to succeed in the new economies of speed?
By: Gregor Hohpe, AWS Senior Principal Evangelist
Many organizations are transforming to succeed in the new economies of speed. The cloud is a critical asset for this transformation — as long as organizations don’t view it as a mere tech upgrade. To fully understand the potential of cloud computing, explore how the role of technology in organizations has fundamentally changed and take a look back at earlier examples of digital transformation.
Transformation: Rethinking your levers for change

- Lever #2: From processes to reducing friction
- Lever #3: From guardrails to steering mechanisms
- Lever #4: From granting exceptions to autonomy
