A Practical Introduction to OKRs

€790.00

How can we gain clarity and focus by setting business goals, which are measurable and data-driven?

How can we create a culture of continuous discovery and delivery?

If your cross-functional product team is struggling with multi-tasking or reacting to multiple stakeholder-requests-of-the-day, then the A Practical Introduction to OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) course is for you. During this 1-day workshop, we cover the practical aspects of goal-setting and goal alignment in an adaptive product-based organisation.

After this workshop, you will have a solid foundation of skills to use strategic and team goals in your organisation:

  • Describe the key differences between traditional goal-setting and the OKRs practice

  • Identify a better approach to driving product strategy and execution based on goals that drive experimentation and validation

  • Actively measure progress towards strategic goals  - thereby connecting operative work with strategic priorities

  • Create an environment which engages everyone in defining experiments towards common goals

  • Experience hands-on practices and product team examples from the OKR toolbox, originally developed by Intel and later applied by Google and many others

  • Identify your own areas of development for your (product) leadership using OKRs
