My clients say …
“Cansel introduced her OKR solar system to our leaders in retail business. That helped to unlock new horizons for us to understand what new approach to test with target setting, to gain the biggest value. I appreaciate Cansel’s ability to explain new and different approach(es) with simple words and illustrate with clear examples. She also challenged our current OKR usage with high professionalism.”

“Man merkt sofort, dass Cansel weiß, wovon sie spricht und dass ihre Beispiele aus ihrer langen Erfahrung in der Produktentwicklung stammen. Sie kann, auch wenn sie das Unternehmen wenig kennt, sofort erkennen, um welche Themen es geht. Auch für Führungskräfte war sie deshalb ein ebenbürtiger Ansprechpartnerin.“

- Since 2008 Product Management
- Since 2011 Agile Organisational Development
- Since 2016 OKR Implementations
Between 2008 and 2016, I managed international business development and corporate-strategy projects, in various games companies. While undergoing the Agile Transformation, and establishing Portfolio Management, I came across OKR and started my first OKR implementation with Scrum Teams.
From 2016 to 2021, I was responsible for the Agile Transformation of an e-commerce company and re-designed the organisation by shifting from project to product driven teams. As part of the Agile Transformation I implemented OKR and coached C-Level, Directors, Product Managers, and teams to develop and execute their vision and strategy of company-wide strategic initiatives.
Since 2016 I’ve implemented, scaled, fixed OKR many times, both as internal employee and external consultant, in B2B, B2C, B2B2C and B2G organisations of all sizes from different industries such as MedTech, FinTech, InsureTech, Pharma, Consumer Electronics, E-Commerce and Retail.
I share my long standing and practice proven OKR expertise beyond theory as public-speaker, author, and founder of OKR Lean Coffee and Reshaping the Future of OKRs.
All my services are available in English 🇺🇸, German 🇩🇪, Turkish 🇹🇷 , remote and/or in person.
Ready to create great things together?
