Our Very First Newsletter!

Welcome to our very first LinkedIn newsletter!

We’re so pumped about the latest release of Beast Core! Are you?

Beast Core’s plugin architecture transforms the product from an application to a platform. Each major feature is broken up into what we call “plugins” and enables other organizations to develop customizations using Beast Core’s out of the box features as a foundation. A plugin could be a new user interface to capture data in a workflow, a new way to visualize information in the 3D Viewer, or even an integration with another application.

We read the book Measure What Matters by John Doerr a couple years ago and were hooked on Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). An OKR is simply a measurable goal intended to be difficult to achieve. So what did we do? We made a ton of OKRs! And we missed the mark on almost all of them. There were too many to track and honestly, they weren’t impactful/important enough for us to spend time on. Fast forward two years and we have a small set of refined OKRs, all focused towards where we want to be as a company in the future. Each key result is assigned to a senior leader and teams across the company are bought in and contributing to the success of the objectives. For us, it was a lesson in starting small and iterating. Even if iterating meant starting over (a few times!) and using the lessons learned to build a stronger foundation. ??
