    Adam has been taking action thanks to some new learning from a recent book: Measure What Matters, by John Doerr.

    Book Summary:

    Measure What Matters is a revolutionary approach to business that has been adopted by some of Silicon Valley's most successful start-ups. It is a movement that is behind the explosive growth of Intel, Google, Amazon and Uber and many more.

    Measure What Matters is about using Objectives and Key Results (or OKRs) to make tough choices on business priorities. It's about communicating these objectives throughout the company from entry level to CEO, and it's about collecting timely, relevant data to track progress - to measure what matters.

    When Google first started out, its founders had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy and sky-high ambition but no business plan. John Doerr taught them a proven approach to operating excellence that has helped them achieve greatness. He has since shared OKRs with more than 50 companies with outstanding success.

    Want the book? You can buy it on Amazon.

So expect more shows, more raw more often. And finally, we're looking to make changes to the Facebook group as we know there's so much value in the group, it's time to change up and get more people benefiting.

    The world is increasingly software-driven. But we all know how often technology that is meant to make our lives better is clumsy, unforgiving and unfriendly. Hampton Catlin is a leading startup CTO, who believes software needs to be built around the needs and personalities of people, not the other way round.

    Today in Startup Stories with Adam Callow you’ll hear how Hampton makes sure that product developers care – really care – about making customers happy.
