10 Moves Mayer Should Make to Save Yahoo!

 

6. Kara Swisher, an American technology columnist and the founder of AllthingsD which has recently talked a lot about Yahoo!, should be bought out to keep her mouth shut.

7.No new product should take over 6 months to launch. Krishnan suggests making a poster with the words “We ship code, not slide decks” and circulating it with product management.

8. Make a table with the columns ‘Invest’, ‘Maintenance Mode’, ‘Kill’ and fill it up with Yahoo’s product portfolio. Then share it with the media and employees so that they are aware of the company’s priorities before any external sources disclose them.

9. Whenever possible, Yahoo! should use the popular open source tools and technologies. When those don’t help meeting the requirements, then back changes can be done. No more projects should be worked upon which the open source community has already built.

10. Marissa Mayer should ensure that the employees don’t waste time at the coffee bars and the cafeteria.
