Wanda Brown’s Post

It was an incredible last 2 days of learning and connecting with our customers and partners at the #awssummit in Washington, DC this week. I had the privilege to host a panel discussion with Wanda Brown, Brian Anthony, and Daren Purnell Jr. (DJ) on modernizing and re-imagining mission critical applications on the cloud. Key takeaways: always work backwards from the mission and customer; engage and listen to all stakeholders; ensure that IT and mission are in lock-step; assess end-user adoption as a key success metric; decentralize the decision making and empower teams; create a safe zone for disagreements, but be decisive in decision making. Thank you panel for sharing your perspectives and inspirational stories. And thanks DJ for sharing the JADE platform for FSOC members. Its invigorating to see the government working together across departments and agencies to share information and data to protect and serve citizen needs. https://lnkd.in/esqi7xAx #aws #modernization #data #cx #digitaltransformation #customerexperience Many thanks to my wonderful AWS colleagues for making this a success for our customers.

Secretary Yellen and Commissioner Werfel provided an update yesterday to IRS employees at our headquarters building on what the coming filing season will look like, and it's a night-and-day comparison to where we were before IRS received the Inflation Reduction Act funding.
