The OKR virus. How to engage one team and then spread it across the office

Thanks to meeting online, we are happy to host Mitya Gladyshev from Amsterdam, who will present to us topic of implementing OKRs in quite difficult conditions :)

There is an apocalypse in Amsterdam. The whole office is deep in lockdown. Nobody knows what “remote work” actually means. The Spotify model doesn’t teach you how to reach goals. While executives are on fire, one desperate manager decides to implement OKRs from the ground zero (and bottom-up!).

In my talk, I’ll cover how gradual OKR implementation can unite the team, fix the remote work challenges with a data-driven approach, and how viral effect is better than a whole squad of OKR-coaches.
