via Loïc Le Meur, un reportage intéressant (bien que très général) sur Google.

Du coup j’ai « googlé » Marissa Mayer et je suis tombé sur deux points intéressants

1. Marissa Mayer’s 9 Notions of Innovation dont:

– Ideas come from everywhere
– Share everything you can: Every idea, every project, every deadline — it’s all accessible to everyone on the intranet
– You’re brilliant, we’re hiring, ce qui fait penser au First Who, then What
– A license to pursue dreams: Employees get a « free » day a week. Half of new launches come from this « 20% time »
– Innovation, not instant perfection: Google launches early and often in small beta tests, before releasing new features widely
– Don’t politic, use data: Mayer discourages the use of « I like » in meetings, pushing staffers to use metrics
– Creativity loves restraint: Give people a vision, rules about how to get there, and deadlines
– Worry about usage and users, not money: Provide something simple to use and easy to love. The money will follow.
– Don’t kill projects — morph them: There’s always a kernel of something good that can be salvaged
