So much so, that periodically someone will leave a seat open at a conference table and highlight to all attendees that the empty seat is occupied by the most important person - their customer. Presenter feel free to insert personal example] This obsession guides our business and innovation.

Think big think big and be willing to roll up your sleeves at every level. Thinking big is how AWS was created. Experimentation and willingness to invent has always been a part of the culture. Everyone can consider strategy as part of their responsibility. Of course, there is always more work to do than can be done in a day/week/year. So, employees must ruthlessly prioritize and periodically remind themselves to step away from the daily tasks to think bigger picture. Its up to us as individuals to find that time though without compromising results.

Invent and simplify We require innovation and invention and always looks for ways to simplify. We look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by not invented here. As you move forward in a cloud career, you will be faced with new and different problems that have likely not been encountered before. Inventing new processes, tools, products to simplify these complex challenges are key to growth and success.
