One of nature's most intelligent and curious creatures, the octopus is everything your organization needs to be: smart, endlessly adaptable, and highly resilient. Its eight tentacles work in concert, but each can also think for itself. In their new book, "The Octopus Organization," AWS executives Phil Le-Brun and Jana Werner aim to help you achieve that same balance of cohesion and autonomy and guide your organization toward a living, breathing system—one that learns, adapts, and thrives. Break away from a broken model of transformation and embrace continuous change. The book is available today. mybook.to/octopusorg
