Adi, one of the biggest goals for organizations today is to become more nimble. So you can quickly respond to change, constantly capitalize on new opportunities, and continuously transform your business as the market demands. So we talk about that a lot, right?

He wants us to both ruthlessly prioritize as well as stay fluid so that we're identifying strategic goals, assembling teams to go after them, evaluating as we go, and then either continuing, shifting, or disbanding based on our outcomes. So that sounds really positive and it sounds different from the traditional model of maintaining and growing operations, managing talent. It also sounds really hard.
