Take good risks: Our culture values informed risk-taking: good decisions are celebrated even when they result in bad outcomes. Everyone feels safe to contribute ideas and to learn from failure. Single accountable person: The project team lead is accountable for all decisions and for maintaining transparency and information flow within the team; we trust the project teams. The Review Committee unlocks capital and sets directions. Simplicity and Focus: Companies die from indigestion, not starvation (Bill Hewlett) We will focus on a few ideas aggressively and minimize all other distractions.
