Her Keynote includes three perspectives on corporate OKRs, containing both difficulties and
achievements during this OKR journey:
1) Align with KPIs The quality of an OKR becomes crucial when the directional and
agile dynamics towards an outcome need to match with a committed KPI roadmap.
2) Synchronize across functions: a time-bound liaison. OKRs are best suited for
horizontal alignment throughout a worldwide matrixed organization by coordinating all
contributions to a common focus. They are particularly helpful with adding the
conducive impact of Central Services to the value creation of Business Areas.
3) Explore individual aspiration: Forget mindset, awareness or culture. Invest in
finding the best words together! The process of honing instructive OKRs as a team
pulls everyone’s attention towards the outcome.
In other words: Writing and communicating strong OKRs is a realistic prediction of
success.
In a world of constant disruption, traditional organizational models often break under pressure instead of adapting and growing stronger. This session introduces the “Company-as-a-Product” mindset—a revolutionary approach that applies product development principles to organizational design. Learn how to leverage OKRs and agility to create an anti-fragile operating system that thrives in uncertainty. Discover practical techniques for aligning strategy with execution, organizing around outcomes rather than outputs, and using evidence-informed practices to measure progress. Whether you’re tackling cross-functional challenges or scaling innovation efforts, you’ll leave with actionable tools to transform your organization into a resilient, adaptive system that turns challenges into opportunities for growth.
The idea is to touch on three dilemmas for leaders when it comes to OKR implementation. Then move to which leadership styles can help on OKR maturity stages and share a framework. And finish it with some techniques and tips for breaking silos through OKR leadership.
Traditional OKR implementations often struggle with alignment and adoption because they overlook the human element. By integrating Human-Centered Design principles, organizations can bridge the gap between strategy and execution, ensuring OKRs are not just set but truly embraced. This session explores how a design-driven approach fosters engagement, clarity, and long-term success in OKR adoption.
