OKR aka Objectives and Key results makes the difference between setting strategic goals and
actually achieving them. Entire teams focus on those few important things which truly make a

learning culture constantly questioning how to not if they can overdeliver on the next
audacious targets.The power of OKR is truly impressive but how should a team practically
decide which priorities to ignore for three months? How does a leader let go a little without
letting go too much? How do teams deal with the challenge of de-prioritizing their own dreams
in order to support their colleagues and how do individuals learn to collaborate and deliver
10x more without sacrificing their personal wellbeing in the process?Whilst the OKR methodology

mindset behind this methodology is the true key to a successful implementation and return on
energy invested.As one of Europe's first ever OKR consultants our author Nick Stanforth shares
