    Ep 91: How to "Win with OKR" | Nick Stanforth & Frank Behnke Progress Factors

    In this exciting episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Nick Stanforth, Founder of Progress Factor and his head of Operations, Frank Behnke.

    Both are OKR experts in their own right and our discussion goes in depth about how to get the best out of an OKR program.

    This is a wonderfully insightful episode and I'd really suggest you have a notepad for this one.
    Having the right mindset is critical as you will see throughout this episode. Also, how creating the right environment for success can produce stellar results. They shed some insight into how OKRs can actually break down structure and silos in Large Multinational organizations and yet help create structure in smaller organizations and start ups.

    And don’t miss their bicycle analogy; It's fabulous!

    Every minute of this episode is jammed with insight and words of wisdom!
