Many companies that work with lean processes organize (bi-)weekly standups to discuss progress and performances. Based on detailed information, an overall score is assigned to each team. Usually, performances are categorized as good, average, or bad. Until the next standup, this will be the ‘label’ that a team carries along.

Garlands, figures, bells, and other ornaments are carefully hung in the branches by adults and children alike. But the pinnacle of perfection is the tree topper, and putting it on the tree is always a special moment. Think about it: whether ’fully-packed’ or scarcely decorated, there is no Christmas tree without a tree topper.
One of Holland’s major hotel chains used to serve children its trademark treat: traditional Dutch apple sauce, topped with a fire-red cherry. Of course, the apple sauce was delicious, but that single cherry did the trick. Time and again, it was the eye-catcher – the reason why children pulled their parents’ sleeves and asked for this particular dessert.
