Measuring what matters begins with the question: What is most important for the next three (or six, or twelve) months?

By standing firmly behind a few top-line OKRs, they give their teams a compass and a baseline for assessment.

She wants only to go to Le Mans, and once there, to watch the people and see the art all around, and taste the food, and discover things she hasn’t heard of yet.
