Giant Talk: The World‘s First OKR Podcast

S4.E9 - OKRs & Change Management

For this episode, I'm joined by Mark Greenley from Victoria Plum. I'm sure most of our British listeners will be aware who Victoria Plum are, but for our global friends, VP are a market-leading online bathroom supplier, manufacturer and fitter. Perhaps not your typical OKR user, you might think, but they are actually incredibly tech-enabled and have put OKRs to great use!
We discuss why it is so important to take into account change management when embedding an OKR framework, and Mark shares some awesome insights about how things went for him and his teams. Mark is fortunate enough to be in the rare position of having OKRs as his sole focus within the organisation so has a vast amount of experience to share! Enjoy!

S4.E1 - Company Goals - do your employees know yours?

Shockingly, 95% of employees do not fully understand their company’s goals or what’s expected of them to achieve their company goals. It’s a significant problem that costs companies millions of dollars from a lack of focus and wasted time spent on efforts that don’t propel the company forward. 
Join us for the recording of an in-depth webinar where we discuss the gold-standard approach to solving the goal management problem—objective and key results (OKRs), alongside our friends at Koan. We’ll discuss why companies can’t make progress with their goals and you’ll learn why leaders are adopting the OKR methodology to better align teams, avoid wasted efforts and shift their company’s focus toward the initiatives that matter. We’ll also share real-world practice with OKR methodology from some of today’s fastest-growing companies.
