Workshops for your company
The same workshop as the open one, only for your team and on your own objectives
The programme of the open workshop “Learn and implement OKRs”, closed to a single company. You practise on your own objectives instead of examples and leave with a plan for starting the implementation.
In short
Before you book
If you still need to decide whether to go for OKRs, this is not the workshop for you
Many companies ask about this workshop when what they really want is to get to know OKRs first and decide whether to implement them. This workshop is already detailed: it teaches how to run OKRs inside a company, write objectives, choose metrics and run the cycle. If your problem is the decision itself, it is better to start with the workshop for decision-makers: six hours with the board, your case and a first draft of objectives.
If there is no firm decision yet on whether you are implementing OKRs, see the workshop for decision-makers.
Programme
Two days, six hours each
Day 1
six hours
- 01
Workshop kick-off
Welcome, organisational matters and getting to know the participants.
- 02
Exercise: the goal of the OKR implementation
The goal of the implementation is one of the key elements. We practise defining it for your organisation or team.
- 03
How to write good OKRs
Where OKRs sit in an organisation next to mission, vision and strategy, the questions for shaping a strategy, and writing OKRs. We discuss the results and write them again. We spend a good deal of time on this, because it is an important part of the workshop.
- 04
Metrics
KPIs, leading and lagging metrics: how to find them, how to build them and connect them with each other.
- 05
The OKR cycle and structure
The stages of getting started: choosing the right cycle, the structure of OKRs, where to start, roles and responsibilities.
- 06
Communication
What to communicate, to whom, when and how. Also when OKRs work only in one product, team or part of the organisation.
Day 2
six hours
- 01
Contracting teams
Who works on OKRs, how to agree goals and work with the team, and how to communicate it.
- 02
Meetings and workshops
Facilitation is one of our hobby horses. We show how we prepare and run meetings with teams and what we pay attention to when working with a group.
- 03
Planning the work
Written objectives do not guarantee delivery. How to plan the team's work, reconcile it with other tasks and fit it into other ways of working: project management, Scrum, Kanban.
- 04
Tracking progress during the quarter
How to monitor progress, whether to hold review meetings and how to run them, which questions to ask, which tools to use, how to communicate changes and resolve blockers and dependencies.
- 05
Retrospectives
How to draw lessons from working with OKRs: the structure of a retrospective, questions, tips.
- 06
Inspect & Adapt
How to check whether OKRs are helping you, how to adapt the process and extend it to other parts of the organisation.
- 07
Tools and the knowledge base
A comparison of OKR tools and access to the knowledge base.
The same programme as the open workshop; we replace the examples with your own objectives.
