About 10 teams, some horizontals like Ops, commercial, design, tech, finance, some product specific KPIs & 2-3 project based teams. I'm going to need to push to keep the number of KPIs down but 5 per horizontal is reasonable.

When I see apps going Electron to me they're saying "I care more about making this easily available and focusing on features other than performance" - which is absolutely fine it's a value statement. Electron likely help

Bought a Corsair K95 a year or so ago and it's fantastic for me, even bought a second for the office. Pricey but it's worth it.

It encourages you to first understand and say what you need, then talk about what you want as one possible solution. We're very "good" at solutionising what we think we want rather than what we need. One of the things I took
