Sales seems to work quite well.

We're grooving in.

And then within two years, I would say we finally are ready to scale.

First thing about decisions is empowerment.

Don't pull every decision up to the boardroom.

It makes us slow.

It is really not attracting people.

People want to really take decisions on a lower level.

So basic idea is take decision on the lowest possible level.

However, empowerment is not anarchy.

You have a clear strategy with that set boundaries.

This is where I want to go.

Within that frame, within your responsibility, you can act and are empowered.

Empowered is a two-way street as well.

Empowered gives freedom, but it also requires accountability.

So if you empower somebody, it has to be accountable for what the people are doing, which is super important.

So this is the first thing.

So don't decide on things which you can't decide on a lower level.

But then if it comes to, let's say, the bigger rocks, the M&A decisions, this really goes into a very, I mean, we have processes, how we do it.

We had a call it P proposal, which is a proposal where somebody says, this is a company I want to acquire.
