The WIP London team x - OKR setting: why do it and how to do it betterhouse 164, 182 Oxford St, London3,00 GBP
You're invited to the next Women in Product London event!
This event will focus on a theme that has come up a lot in our surveys, OKR and KPI setting. Why should we do it, what's the difference, how can we use it to further our product? This will be a panel event so each speaker will bring their own experience to the fore and we'd of course welcome your input too!
Some of the discussion points will include how each speaker understands why OKR setting is so important for product management, what good 'really' and 'not so good' looks like, how you can use OKRs to communicate, set direction and drive your product.
The evening will give you the opportunity to network with your peers over drinks and canapés before and after our speakers take the stage. Join us for a mix of insightful presentations where you'll takeaway invaluable insights from the speakers and have the chance to ask them questions during the event.
