This is a key task for the HR function and leadership
at different levels.
What we are doing is not meant to be easy – some
for the first time anywhere (for example, becoming the

our effort to be both, a
learning and an action-oriented
organisation - where we take high
quality and high velocity decisions
and actions.

there is life, there is struggle, and we are prepared for it.
Sincerely,
