Natalija Hellesoe - Implementing OKRs is not the goal - Agile Lean Ireland Meetup

Send us a text

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.
