Achieving Your Vision with OKRs

The 90-minute OKR workshop combines a conceptual overview of OKRs with real-life examples of how they're used in different companies. The workshop upskills startups on how to write measurable OKRs that are communicated throughout the team, how to prioritize what's most important, and how to avoid common mistakes when writing OKRs (E.g. writing a to-do list instead of focusing on key results that impact an organization). The OKR workshop focuses on practicality and startups actively participate through asking nuanced questions about using OKRs in their organizations.

This workshop is ideal for startups that have tried using OKRs, however the results were not successful OR for startups completely new to OKRs and want to learn the right habits to write OKRs and implement them in their organizations.

Learning objectives:

- A vision framework that connects your values, purpose, mission, strategy and OKRs

- Examples of some great and not-so-great mission statements

- Introduction to OKRs and why they are important

- OKR best practices and pitfalls

- A working session where you will write your own OKRs and share with the group
