Track 2 - Strategise using Objectives & Key Results: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started | Jeff Gothelf
Morning coffee
Session 1 - Objectives & Key Results Basics
Let’s start by defining OKRs and why we should use them. Setting Show more...strategy and working with teams on goal-setting is not an easy feat. But understanding how to phrase clear objectives and defining the key results that would measure their success is what would lead to success along with the appropriate initiation approach (top-down vs bottom-up).
Coffee break
Session 2 - Goals are set, but now what?
Theory without appropriate implementation won’t cut it for anyone. Show more... Your teams need to find time for product discovery and incentives and performance management criteria for successful OKR implementation need to be defined.
OKRs come with a set of challenges, but how can we work around them to reap the benefits that they can bring?
Lunch
Session 3 - Open forum
Now, let’s bring the concepts closer to us and see how they can apply in our case.
