In this organization, they struggled with the implementation of the OKR framework (Objective-Key Results). As Gert talked to the teams, he heard that they were frustrated with the long time the process took, how tightly structured it was, and how they felt unprepared to translate all their plans into the OKR framework.
Over time, Gert worked with leadership and the teams to find out how to adapt the framework to the reality of that organization and those teams.
