Welcome to Shared Narrative #23!
As was previously mentioned in our LinkedIn post, we were busy preparing for a 2-day OKR workshop in Bangkok, Thailand. It went very well. Thanks to the participants who attended the class; the event really enriched our appreciation and understanding of OKR. It was a pleasure.
We were delighted to learn that individuals and companies have shown interests toward OKR. In fact, most of them had heard about OKR before, while some already started to adopt the OKR practice as part of their execution discipline. The differences they had in regards to their knowledge and experience about OKR made the conversation and discussion interesting. During the Q&A sessions, they were seen discussing among themselves: what worked and didn’t work when implementing OKR and figuring out other alternatives to a better OKR adoption.
Having a multitude of people from different backgrounds and positions was another reason why the workshop was engaging to the participants. There are those from the telecommunication industry, healthcare, energy, real estate, and financial technology. Some are C-level executives, while others are directors, heads, and managers. They asked different questions; each wanted to know how OKR can be applied to their situation. Because there’s no one size fits all, we had to give a variety of examples and use cases to make sure each one of them can relate to OKR and the adoption practice. Exchanging and discussing new ideas with them certainly helped us to understand OKR better. The learning process is two-way.
We covered a wide range of topics in 2 sessions:
- OKR Primer — the A to Z about OKR: the definition and how to set and write Objective and Key Results, steps to create OKR cadence, case studies, and common mistakes.
- A 12-week OKR Implementation and Evaluation Guides — a more in-depth guideline to start the OKR adoption practice: tools to manage your cadence, the checklist of benefit to evaluate whether you’re on the right track after 12 weeks of adoption, and how to utilize your OKR scores to guide your 1:1s.
