The Business Case
Defining the Issue – The Global Perspective
A global initiative, called FAST, was launched so as to establish a common set of values for all SONY employees.
FAST stands for: FOCUS – on the wants of our customers and strategic
priorities ACCOUNTABILITY – everyone is accountable to ensure
we improve and succeed as a whole SPEED – working to stay ahead of our competitors TEAMWORK – more power – and greater results – when
we work collaboratively
Defining FAST at the Company Level
Empower employees to be accountable for their performance and future career path while upholding the SONY FAST valuesProvide managers with support to be able to hold themselves and their people accountable
