\nAt Amazon customer obsession is grounded in empathy as we work backwards from the problem(s) they face to understand what the human motivation is to move and react. That approach has helped us solve customers\u2019 issues in a manner they may not have thought about before, often creating solutions to problems they did not realize they had. This mental model and methodology does not solve every problem but has sparked innovative solutions at scale for some of the industry\u2019s biggest problems.<\/p>\n\n
