Natalija Hellesoe - Implementing OKRs is not the goal - Agile Lean Ireland Meetup
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) as a concept has been around for a while. Many companies set out to work with OKRs and implement the seemingly simple idea in their organization - often enough without a clear answer to the most important question: “To what ultimate end?”.
So it’s time to dig a little deeper! In this meetup, Natalija will invite you to look at OKRs in the context of current business challenges and complexity and broaden your perspective around the “simple idea”!
Through examples, case studies and discussions, we will explore;
> OKRs in the context of complexity
> Different development patterns of OKRs in organizations
> how to link actual business problems to OKRs
> Making an informed decision whether OKRs are worth pursuing for you > Designing an OKR System that works for your organization
And of course we will leave enough time at the end for all you Q&As.
Speaker's Bio:
Natalija is an organizational development coach and OKR expert. She supports companies wanting to increase focus, autonomy, and value creation to identify and prioritize their challenges, set valuable goals and continuously improve. She has been working within People Development and Transformation since 2010 before starting her own business offering an entire ecosystem of training and coaching focusing on Leadership &
Responsibility, Objectives & Key Results and Agile HR & Learning.
In 2020, she published the practical book “OKRs at the center: How to drive change with goals and create the organization you want” together with Sonja Mewes via Sense & Respond Press. Today the learning and development programs supporting organizations with OKRs and more are united in the OATC Academy!
