A
Hey
all
thanks
for
joining
us.
Today,
we
are
looking
at
executing
decisions.
It's
a
tenet
of
mac.
Mech
stands
for
managing,
so
everyone
can
contribute
if
you're
not
familiar
with
mac.
Mech
is
a
new
management
philosophy
to
speed
up
company
progress
by
creating
the
environment
for
better
decisions
and
improved
execution
of
them.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
sid
he'll
share
his
screen
and
we'll
go
example
by
example,
on
the
executing
tenants.
B
Thanks
darren
appreciate
it
no
matrix
organization,
good
one
to
include
very
important,
not
not
sure
I
like
the
name.
Maybe
it
should
be
exactly
one
manager
or
something
like
that
instead,
but
people
tend
to
understand
what
you
mean
with
this,
like
don't
have
people
report
into
two
people.
B
But
yeah
it's
I
struggle
with
it,
because
that's
not
as
clear
to
to
people
here
they
give
an
example,
dual
reporting.
Well,
that's
the
thing
we
don't
do
so
that's
the
whole
idea
like
no
dual
reporting
could
have
been
the
title.
So
how
can
the
example
be
dual
reporting.
A
B
B
I
think
one
insight,
I'm
missing
in
other
organizations
is
that
the
okrs
are
frequently
the
delta
and
kpis
like
you
want
to
improve
a
kpi
and
therefore
you
have
an
initiative,
and
that's
that's
what
you're
going
to
work
on
for
that
quarter.
B
A
What
I
was
right,
I
was
trying
to
convey
that
a
successful
iteration
should
be
celebrated
as
execution.
I
think,
there's
a
tendency
to
only
celebrate
the
quote,
unquote
in
state
and
not
the
iteration,
and
I've
noticed
that
you've
tried
to
shift
that
focus
to
really
celebrate
on
the
iteration.
Otherwise
people
tend
to
do
less
of
it.
So
that
was
what
I
was
trying
to
convey
here.
B
I'm
not
sure
that's
a
great
example,
but
recently
we
merged
something
with
like
what
time
zones
we
use
for
different
meetings,
that's
something
where
we
had
duplication
before
and
we're
able
to
straighten
it
out.
I'm
not
sure
the
best
example
in
the
world,
but
it's
one
that
comes
to
mind.
B
I
also
think
it's
very
common,
if
you,
if
you
just
have
all
your
materials
and
spreadsheets
it's
very
easy
for
the
same
material,
so
even
like
different
materials
about
the
same
subject
for
multiple
states
to
exist.
At
the
same
time,.
B
But
this
this,
it
should
link
to
an
mr
basically
right.
If
we
we
can't
even
we
have
to
give
a
real
example
right,
yeah
prioritize
due
dates
over
scope.
It's
great,
it's
basically
the
iteration
example,
but
I
think
it's
it
makes
sense.
It's
like
a
steady
release.
Cadence!
That's.
A
B
B
They
might
feel
natural
to
you
because
you've
worked
it
for
a
while,
but
it's
I
can
tell
you
it's
really
weird
to
have
a
meeting
with
multifunctional
executives
where
the
department
presents
here's
our
kpis,
here's
our
oprs,
here's,
how
we're
trending
against
them.
Here's
what's
top
of
mind
for
us
what
we
we
are
thinking
about.
B
Normally
that's
a
more
of
an
informal
discussion
between
the
department
and
their
manager.
Many
times
me
what
we
do
with
the
key
meetings
is
we
broaden
the
audience
that
could
give
suggestions,
feedback
advice
and
we
make
the
department
think
more
about
like
okay?
Where
am
I
falling
short?
What
am
I
gonna
do
about
it?
B
I
think,
having
that
as
a
very
regular,
cadence
and
kind
of
a
core
part
of
our
company
is
this,
is
it's
pretty
special?
Another
thing
is
the
group
meetings.
Group
meetings
is
like
same
content
as
key
meeting,
but
not
with
like
executives,
but
with
all
team
members
are
invited
and
that's
to
give
people
contacts.
Execution
is
not
just
about
executing
your
thing,
but
also
understanding
how
what
other
people
are
executing
on
and
making
sure
everyone
understands.
The
goals
and
share
concerns
and
group
meetings
again
are
very
special.
B
There's
also
other
things
we
do.
I
think
that
might
not
be
very
special,
so
we
might
not
include
it
here
but
doing
regular
performance
reviews,
but
maybe
that's
consensus
now
we
don't
need
to
add
that
another
thing
is,
I
miss
our
efficiency
value
and
some
things
that
we
have
in
there
that
enable
execution.
I
think
execution
also
about
how
much
you
can
do,
and
I
think
efficiency
enables
that
and
I
miss
the
results,
value
and
some
of
the
things
that.
A
B
We
might
feel
too
much
but
like
that,
we
don't
present
in
meetings
like
our
meetings
are
like
less
than
half
the
length
than
most
companies
and
we
tend
to
get
more
takeaways
from
the
meetings
written
down
than
in
other
companies.
So
since
most
management
people
spent
the
majority
of
their
time
in
meetings,
I
think
that's
a
big
deal.
A
B
Yep,
if
you
talk
about
execution
you're
like
you
get
what
you
measure,
we
measure
execution
on
hours.
