I happened upon it yesterday morning, and it really made my day. Such a neat and slick doodle.
For those who might have missed it, (looks like it was live only a day) here it is:
I immediately asked a few friends to check it out....just to share something beautiful kinds, and of course, once a Googler, always a Googler remember? One friend wrote back....The Doodle is just brilliant...goes to show what a thinking organization Google is. That says it all.
The one word that comes to mind that gets ingrained and imbibed at Google, is 'Scrappy'. To be flexible, adaptable, malleable....... to situation, to context, to growth......you get the idea.
A highly desirable quality, and one that's looked for not only in the employees ( we were asked to specifically check for it at interviews), but also in the company itself. It's ability to be flexible and change on the go. The way it launches and sunsets products. The way it iterates on processes and products. The number of times it has changed its logo, is representative.
The core stays. The goal stays. It's the layers that shift to adapt.
The CANI (Constant and Never Ending Improvement) is an outcome of this, I'd say.
We all know that thing of 'Change is the only Constant', that everything is dynamic, growing, changing. Being scrappy is one way of staying on top of things. A method to CANI. At a company level, at an employee level, and surely at a personal level too ........
