I am a regular speaker at agile, product and OKR conferences. Here is a list of recent engagements.

WHY OKRs?

Throughout my career I have asked two fundamental questions when approaching a new initiative:

Why are we doing this? How will we know if we've succeeded?

They are questions that challenge people to examine their assumptions. It often revealed weak reasoning behind significant investments. When I discovered OKRs I realised that they brought a structure to those questions. When used well OKRs encourage us to focus on the outcomes they desire and not the outputs they produce. It was a natural step to become an OKR consultant.

Now I help organisations who realise the importance of focusing on outcomes.
