OKR Workshops and Trainings

Working with Objectives & Key Results is like a journey that never ends. I see myself as a travel guide who provides you with knowledge and tools so that you can get to know OKR holistically.

Your OKR Travel Guide

Agile strategy work with OKR is not an all-inclusive vacation, but more like an individual adventure trip! Every organization has different needs: Maybe you're just starting out. Maybe you've been on an OKR journey for a while. I support you in creating clarity about your needs and accompany you hands-on on your journey.

OKR Discovery

The OKR Discovery Workshop is the first step of every OKR journey. Together with the leadership team, I shed light on the basic principles and success factors of OKR. In this way, we establish a common understanding of what an OKR introduction can look like.

We reflect on the organization's current challenges and clarify whether and how OKR can contribute to the solution.

After this workshop, you as a leadership team will have a good starting point for deciding whether and how you want to continue your journey with OKR.

Ok Sandy, why should we choose you?

With so many great OKR coaches out there, it will probably come down to whether you like me or not 😉 Let's find out and meet for a virtual coffee!

You want some facts right now? Alright, here we go:

For me, OKR (Objectives & Key Results) is a holistic agile and systemic framework
I'm not a dogmatic person - OKR isn't the solution for everything and everyone
Being pragmatic and trying things out is the way to go for me - albeit I always base it on a good theory or hypothesis.
I worked as a teamlead in key account management and online marketing in two startups
My own OKR journey began in 2016, when I took over the OKR Master role in a startup where we adopted OKR
Since 2019, I've been coaching SMEs and startups on their OKR journey as a freelancer
I'm an official partner of die.agilen GmbH, where I train and certify OKR Masters and support large enterprises with OKR coaching and consulting.
I'll support you in German and English
I work internationally with a remote first approach - yet I'm open to travel if it's within reasonable limits.
I have two very cute cats that might make a cameo in some of my workshops.
