Several of us at Clear Books have recently been reading ‘How Google Works’ – a book by Google executives Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg about the lessons they learned as they helped build the company.
It’s a great resource for anyone running their own business, offering tips on how you can help your business succeed in today’s landscape. At Clear Books we’ve adopted several working methods mentioned in the book including:
- Hiring committees to ensure input is received from across the company over potential new hires
- A ‘Top 50 projects’ spreadsheet used to manage our product roadmap
- Objectives and Key Results (OKR’s)
For anyone who wants a quick snapshot of the key ideas contained in the book, take a look at the handy slideshow below. We hope it gives you some great new ideas for your business!
