  "summary": "Highlighting how far a team has come seems naturally motivating. Research suggests, however, that its effect depends on what recipients still need to establish: their commitment or their progress.",

    {
      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Minjung Koo and Ayelet Fishbach (2008, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) show experimentally that highlighting completed or remaining actions does not have a uniform motivational effect."

      "heading": "The mechanism: commitment or progress",
      "point": "Ayelet Fishbach, Tal Eyal and Stacey R."

    {
      "heading": "The hasty conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that managers should highlight successes to new employees and delays to experienced teams."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The limits of the evidence and of dashboards",
      "point": "Experiments on goal pursuit and a theoretical review do not establish the effectiveness of a [communication](/formation-communication-sion) format in Sion-based organisations."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Sion",
      "point": "Within SHR’s Communication programme, an exercise could focus on a non-critical milestone: preparing documentation for hydropower maintenance, an administrative rollout in healthcare, organising the grape harvest or preparing for the alpine tourism season."
