BHAG EXAMPLES Zynga “I want the dog, our dog icon, which was originally my dog Zynga, I want that icon, that brand, to be what I call a dial tone for play. I want it to be more recognizable than a Nike swoosh and mean something to you. If you see that on a game, it means it's social, it means that it's going to give you back more than what you put into it.”

BHAG EXAMPLES EA In 1982, Electronic Arts was founded on ideas. We called software a new art form, and its creators were software artists. We believed that interactive was better than passive media, and that one day “software worthy of the minds who use it” would be more important than traditional media like films and television. “We see farther,” we proclaimed, with faith that Moore’s Law, the engine of Silicon Valley, would one day provide the power to put “real life in a box.” We asked, “can a computer make you cry?” and invited the new faithful to “join us.”

BHAG EXAMPLES Intel This decade we will create and extend computing technology to connect and enrich the lives of every person on Earth.
