Cansel supported us at JobRad for 1,5 years in strategy work, particularly on OKRs, and worked with us to set the course for key changes to our OKR framework: sharper focus, better measurability of our goals, and improved cross-departmental collaboration. A key focus was on introducing, facilitating, and supporting “Shared OKRs,” as well as introducing and training the team on lag and lead metrics. Working with Cansel was always marked by a high level of professionalism and a clear focus, all within a pleasant working atmosphere. With Cansel’s support, we were able to work on and achieve goals more effectively across functions, and gain clarity on which metrics from which departments or teams serve as lag metrics in OKR work and genuinely help with strategic work. Thank you so much for that, dear Cansel.

About me
Since 2008 Product Management 
Since 2011 Agile Transformation Since 2016 Strategy & OKR 2023 OKR Solar System 2025 SOLAR System
Combining over 18 years of experience across strategy, leadership, and team development, I offer strong hands-on insights as both a former corporate leader and, since 2021, an independent consultant. In 2023, based on real-world client challenges, I created the OKR Solar System to replace traditional goal cascading with true cross-functional alignment. I evolved this in 2025 into the SOLAR System, which seamlessly connects strategy, organizational structure, leadership, daily operations, and routines.
