Agile Reading | "Don’t cascade OKR. Build a solar system" - with Cansel Sörgens
Talk overview
OKR is trending like never before… It has become the next box to check as part of change and transformation initiatives. OKRs promise focus, alignment, commitment, trackability and innovation.
People hear about the idealized stories how OKRs helped organizations to become successful and want to have a piece of the cake, too: “When it worked for Google, it must work for us too!”.
But OKR is not a silver bullet and to work well it needs a little more than just articulating goals. To activate the real power of OKR organizations need to shift from output to outcome thinking, enable participative strategy co-creation and critically re-think their organizational structures.
In this talk we will cover :-
- What is OKR?
- Create alignment with mid-term strategy
- Learn different approaches of OKR Architecture
- Learn about Strategic Theme OKR
- How to create a invitation based OKR implementationAbout the Speaker
