Well, I'm no CEO of Google or anything, but if the company is so broad, then shouldn't he be giving an audacious but concrete goal to each of his segments separately? It's just supposed to be scoped for the year 2024, after all. What's the point of having your 2024 goal be "make the world a great place for Googlers"? What about that starts or ends in 2024? In his shoes, I'd feel pressure to devise specific high-level strategies that compliment the different segments and then throw down the gauntlet. So you know, you'd have high level strategies, like "AI all the things = synergy" and "Regain public trust on our bread and butter products" and then you'd break it down more:
- Self-driving car people: Make me a giant dataset of multimodal data for the AI people
- AI people: Show me a demo of Gemini driving the self-driving car people's car by end of year
- Nest and assistant people: Real-time Gemini assistant
And then over on the pure software side you'd be saying:
- Youtube people: Expand premium membership by foo, reduce negative ad sentiment by bar
- Google Drive people: Close gap with M$ Office features in GSuite
- Search people: Radical crackdown on dark SEO patterns
- Gchat people: pointlessly re-imagine the entire look and feel of the web app for the fifteenth time
etc. etc.
No?
- riku_iki 3y agoYou can read "most helpful personal platforms" as personal platforms(chrome, android, bard, search, drive) being more helpful than competitors. I guess defining specific benchmarks and metrics should be included into the goal. Then it looks very specific without 10 bullet points like in your proposal.
