John Doerr Books

The book presents a comprehensive action plan by John Doerr, a renowned venture capitalist, aimed at addressing the urgent challenge of climate change.

Through a blend of personal anecdotes and research, Doerr inspires readers to take meaningful steps towards a greener future.

In 2006, investor John Doerr and his partners at Kleiner Perkins launched their first clean technology fund, backing more climate entrepreneurs than anyone else and learning valuable lessons along the way. Fifteen years later, despite advancements in batteries, electric vehicles, and renewable energy, global warming worsens, manifesting in droughts, floods, wildfires, and melting ice caps. We are in a climate crisis that demands urgent action, yet climate change remains inadequately addressed. What if the goal-setting techniques that fueled innovative organizations were applied to this challenge? Utilizing Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), SPEED & SCALE presents a global strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions and ensure a habitable planet. OKRs, employed by Google and other leaders, have transformed ideas into impactful achievements. Doerr outlines the necessary OKRs to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, where we cease adding heat-trapping carbon to the atmosphere. Blending analysis with insights from figures like Jeff Bezos, Al Gore, and Bill Gates, this book serves as a launchpad for ambitious leaders eager to take action. With a solid plan and a growing climate movement, reaching net zero is still possible, but urgent action is essential.

"In the fall of 1999, John Doerr met with the founders of a start-up he'd just given nearly $12 million, the biggest investment of his career. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. For Google to change the world, or even survive, Page and Brin had to learn how to make tough choices on priorities while keeping their team on track. They had to know when to pull the plug on losing propositions, to fail fast. They needed timely, relevant data to track their progress--to measure what mattered. Doerr introduced them to a proven approach to operating excellence--Objectives and Key Results. The rest is history."--Jacket
