OKR workshop activity

TAG:

Please find below a good OKR workshop activity. I typically use it as one of the hands-on activities for a OKR workshop. I typically split the participants into groups and give them the following KR problem statement for each group. After a few minutes we assess the results and have a conversation about KRs. You find a good read for a possible answer here.
