Meeting Summary We reviewed and refined the North America OKRs against the RISE action fields and agreed to submit a version with clear, numeric key results where we have them. Vera restructured the framework by dropping the corporate goal tier and placing key results directly under the applicable RISE action fields since many KRs span multiple fields. Clint aligned with this approach and helped consolidate and order the proposed KRs; he remains the owner of the set.
We agreed to include specific targets for supply reliability (service grade and back orders), marketing reach, MyFestool account growth, and tools-per-buyer. This gives us measurable progress and a credible narrative of how we will expand market reach, drive acquisition, and improve customer lifetime value. We also agreed to escalate the Sherwin-Williams inclusion decision to Matt, given the continuing lack of sales KPIs/OKRs from Robert. From an operations perspective, I reinforced that logistics and supply reliability must live alongside sales and marketing KRs because they directly impact dealer productivity and customer acquisition.
Separately, I will try to move the Ruben/legal call 30 minutes later so Vera can join after the Compass meeting. We will keep Leah in the loop, but that call needs to happen this week even if HQ counsel has limited availability. We will copy me on the OKR submission to Matt for documentation and continuity.

Action Items - Vera: Send the consolidated NA OKRs to Matt for alignment, including the numeric targets we discussed. Copy Scott for records. - Vera: Explicitly ask Matt to decide whether to include or exclude Sherwin-Williams in the dealer target. Note that Robert has not provided sales KPIs/OKRs and has not responded to the request. - Vera: Ping Robert one more time for input on sales KPIs/OKRs and the Sherwin-Williams inclusion. - Vera: Upon Matt's alignment, enter the OKRs into Mooncamp by end of week. - Pascal: Own and deliver - Standardized and optimized new dealer onboarding to reduce time to activation. - Full RSM/TSM transparency on new dealer progress to improve acquisition effectiveness. - Clint: Lead the cross-functional effort with HQ to improve supply reliability - target at least 88% service grade and reduce back orders from ~11% to ~8%. - Marketing Owner (TBD by Clint/Matt): Execute VLE and targeted campaigns to achieve 25k+ launch video views and 200k+ combined category page views. - Sales Owner - Robert: Provide sales KPIs/OKRs and confirm the dealer acquisition target - 100 new dealers including Sherwin-Williams or 40 excluding Sherwin-Williams - and support the A/B dealer visit-frequency model KPI. - Marketing/eCom Owner (TBD): Deliver 14k+ or 3,700+ new buyer accounts through MyFestool in H1; maintain continuity into H2 target already drafted. - Angela/Marketing Analytics (TBD): Track and drive tools-per-buyer growth of 0.01 per month (0.06 over six months) per market. - Scott: Attempt to move the Ruben/legal call 30 minutes later and invite Vera if timing aligns; inform HQ counsel and outside attorneys.
-
Relevant Timelines - End of this week - Vera to enter OKRs into Mooncamp after Matt's alignment. - Next week - HQ meets on OKRs; we must not be the bottleneck. - Tomorrow, 10:00 - Compass meeting onsite. If possible, move the Ruben/legal call to 10:30 so Vera can attend. - H1 - Deliver MyFestool new buyer account targets (14k+ or 3,700+ as scoped). - Over 6 months - Increase tools per buyer by 0.06 per market (0.01 per month).

Additional Notes - Strategic stance: We will include numeric targets in OKRs despite some HQ teams using less specific KRs. Stronger, measurable KRs improve accountability and storytelling of our operational impact on growth. - Sales dependency and risk: Lack of defined sales KPIs/OKRs from Robert remains a blocker. Escalate the Sherwin-Williams inclusion decision to Matt; this is a sales call, not one for operations to make. My view is to include Sherwin-Williams given the real work and impact associated with activating those doors. - Operations linkage: Logistics and supply reliability belong in these growth action fields. Poor fill rates and back orders directly undermine dealer productivity and sell-through. Cross-functional alignment with HQ is essential to hit 88%+ service grade and back-order reduction to ~8%. - Data and voice-of-customer: Before we lean on CSAT/NPS for performance measurement, we need better coverage and representativeness. Build the measurement foundation first, then use it to drive post-purchase and loyalty improvements. - Governance and recordkeeping: Copy me on the submission to Matt. We need a clean record of the OKR content and approvals to avoid past issues with missing documentation. - People/enablement: Noted concern that replacing experienced field staff with inexperienced hires will not solve performance issues without real coaching and development. Coaching and capability-building should be emphasized before turnover.
