They literally think that the idea is to let teams identify a set of objectives, and then let them pursue those objectives, and we'll see where we are at the end of the quarter.

Shipping Time
Real-time delivery and next-day shipping are increasingly common, and buyers are becoming more demanding. Shipping time is key, and it’s tightly linked to how effectively the retailer handles logistics. E-commerce companies can most likely achieve significant operational efficiencies just by optimizing their fulfillment and shipping processes. These efficiencies turn into a competitive advantage, because they let you sell to consumers who are more interested in faster, better-quality service than the cheapest price.

It’s an approximation, based on counting how much of the core value that the customers seek (for example messages sent, or insights gained) the company delivers per period. It’s best to measure as close as possible to the value experience, and yet keep the metric simple and understandable.
