Starting your OKR experiment the Right Way | Sandra Pretzer
In this episode, Sandra Pretzer explains how to implement Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) within an organization. The conversation focuses on a phased approach, beginning with securing leadership buy-in and aligning with the company vision.
Implementation involves identifying a pilot team, educating them on OKR methodology, and defining a 12–18-month strategic goal.
The process emphasizes outcome-oriented key results, regular check-ins, and post-cycle reflection to refine future iterations.
A key takeaway is the importance of collaborative conversations in setting meaningful objectives rather than relying on automated tools, highlighting the human element crucial for successful OKR implementation.
