  68. Feedback/TODO ● “Many of the concepts were similar to Hoshin X planning. I did hear a lot of comments regarding being to actually "see" many of the concepts such as tribes, squads in action - perhaps some videos to help reinforce the concepts.” ● “not enough time - I think we should invite Spotify again - and have another talk focused more around performance/compensation/bonuses/self-evaluation - that is all extremely interesting” ● “Perhaps they could come back and we could drill down a little deeper and analyze/discuss/debate some actual scenarios.” http://www.meetup.com/BayALN/events/228752659/comments/462480423/? like=1&_af=event&_af_eid=228752659&itemTypeToken=COMMENT&https=off
