Coté interviews Jana Werner, Enterprise Transformation Lead EMEA, from Amazon Web Services (AWS). How can you start small changes to make big changes? That's the premise of Jana Werner's organization transformation card game. Sure, it's not really a "game," but each question is meant to help nudge management and executives a little closer to changing how they operate. Many of the ideas come from Amazon thinking, but many of the are also just the type of common sense that's too often uncommonly practiced. Coté interviews her about some of the cards, but, more importantly, the thinking, management philosophy, the life-style behind the cards. Show Links Coté mentioned a case study Jana did with Barry O'Reilly about Tesco Bank, here it is. Appoint and empower a single threaded leader Two way door decisions Dogs not barking. Weasel words. If you'd like to hear more from Jana, Coté also interviewed her back in 2020 about her work at Tesco Bank. Contact Jana Werner LinkedIn: Jana Werner. SDT News & Hype Join us in Slack.
