15年前,《OKR:做最重要的事》作者約翰.杜爾受到美國前副總統高爾的紀錄片《不願面對的真相》,以及女兒的觀後感所震撼,他開始投入心力研究相關資料,設法為這個比起評估投資風險,更加艱鉅的挑戰──氣候危機,尋找解答。
杜爾在本書中運用OKR,提出了一份目標2050年達到零碳排、務實而明確的行動方案,並疾呼:氣候問題的嚴重性無庸置疑,而行動的時刻,就是現在。(文/博客來編譯)
Venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping--and actionable--plan to cut carbon emissions to net zero, using powerful levers to conquer humanity's greatest challenge: climate change.
In 2006, acclaimed investor John Doerr and his partners at Kleiner Perkins launched their first clean technology fund. They've backed more climate entrepreneurs than anyone and invested in a wide range of solutions, amassing hard-earned lessons along the way. Yet years later, despite breakthroughs in batteries, electric vehicles, and solar and wind power, we are not on track to limit global warming. Instead, we are on the brink of an all-out crisis.
Today, climate change is being tackled inconsistently and insufficiently. More than ever, we need a clear course of action.
What if the techniques that powered the rise of today's most innovative organizations were brought to bear on humanity's greatest challenge? Fueled by a powerful goal-setting tool called objectives and key results (OKRs), SPEED & SCALE offers an unprecedented global plan for cutting emissions and reaching net zero by 2050. Used by Google, Bono's ONE foundation, and startups the world over, OKRs have scaled ideas into movements that changed the world. With clear-eyed realism and science-backed precision, Doerr identifies the OKRs we need to reduce emissions across every sector of the economy--with all possible speed.
Equally inspiring and pragmatic, SPEED & SCALE intersperses Doerr's learnings with firsthand accounts from Jeff Bezos, Christiana Figueres, Al Gore, Mary Barra, Bill Gates, and other intrepid entrepreneurs, activists, and scientists. A launchpad for those who want to act, this book is for ambitious leaders of every ilk. With a definitive plan, science, and inspiration on our side--there is no more time to waste.
