them aggressively enough): 70% success is a good measure
We will allocate budgets & resources where we make progress
OKRs review & score
0 to 0.3 0.4 to 0.6 0.7 to 1
Failed We made progress but fell short of
completion
Delivered
Committed OKR regarding sales &
product releases must be 1.0,
otherwise it is failed

Focus on the big rocks
Be ambitious
Stretch for amazing – push frontiers
The best idea wins, not the best title

Do not brake. It’s not easy to reaccelerate !
No carrots & sticks but a common sense of purpose
Enable risk taking, spur innovation and drive performance &
productivity
Esprit de corps, all about the team, the company
