OKR divides the classical goals into Objectives and Key Results. Objectives set a goal in a similar way to a vision – abstract, polarizing and highly motivating. They pick up the employee on the emotional level and secure his commitment to the goal. Key Results have the task of making the objective measurable and showing how the objective can be achieved.

The OKR-System at first sight gives the impression of being uncomplicated. Unfortunately, there are many companies that are frustrated when they try to apply OKRs in practice. Often companies, teams and individuals fall into the classic mistakes of the past and end up in the so-called “cosmetic agility”. Even if the dynamics behind OKR seem to be very simple, it is important to have an experienced OKR coach guiding the introduction.

Within this two-day workshop we will take a practical look at the concept of OKRs, we will give helpful guidance on how OKRs can help companies, and we will look at the key factors for a successful OKR implementation.

Agenda:

• Fundamentals of OKR
• Difference between qualitative objectives and quantitative, measurable key results
• Introduction to Toyota Kata Concept
• With the help of a real case or an example from work practice, we formulate concrete OKRs together as a team and show how to use Objectives & Key Results for agile leadership correctly
• Presentation of an OKR cycle based on practical examples from the industry
• Development of a plan for the successful implementation of OKR
• Numerous tips, tricks & tools on how to use the method successfully in your business context.
