How to live up to your company’s
Vision &Values and why it matters
for growth.
Do you know your company's
Vision?
Why didn’t everybody raise their arm?
1.Your company doesn’t have a vision statement
2.You have one but it is long and meaningless
3.Your leadership team doesn’t communicate it properly
4.It is not part of your day to day operations
5.You don’t care about the company vision. It is just a job..
How can I impact this.. I just work
here..

Overview
The MaxCDN Story
• No trust (Crossing the Chasm)
• We were just a “me too”
• We had no WHY - We were in it for the money..
We had zero traction
Why does your organization exist?
What did the market really need?
• Buying CDN Sucked!
• CDN was hard to use
How to provide real value?
Our Vision
Make CDN accessible for everybody.
Offer easy to use & affordable CDN.
MaxCDN was born!
And we took off!!
But we messed up again...
We lost our Vision..
1.We never wrote it down
2.We started walking in 10 different directions
3.We did not communicate it like parrots
4.We did not use it as a decision filter
5.We lost focus...
How can you lose you company vision??
If you don’t focus you are toast
1.Positioning & Marketing becomes impossible
2.What kind of products do you build?
Loosing focus
“He who chases two rabbits, catches
none.”
Confucius
