“Dein 90-Minuten-OKR-Workshop gehörte zum Besten, das ich bisher in diesem Zusammenhang erlebt habe – das war lohnender als 2 Tage Bezahlkurs ein paar Wochen später. Und dafür ein großes Danke.”

Dank OKR bin ich in der Lage, meine qualitative Arbeit quantitativ erfahrbar und messbar zu machen. Damit sehe ich sofort den Impact meiner Arbeit auf unsere Unternehmensziele, was extrem motivierend ist.”
