Global OKR Forum THIS Thursday: Will I see you there?
Hi Reader!
What's your plan for Thursday?
Tickets are still available for the OKR Forum 2024, a gathering of OKR Practitioners from global brands, including Cindy White, the leader of Pearson's OKR Center of Excellence speaking about Pearson's three-year journey with OKRs.
Cindy is a remarkable change leader within Pearson -- she leads a highly skilled OKR COE that sits across multiple organizations within Pearson, a large education enterprise. I have the privilege of asking the questions for Cindy's session, and it will be a fun and informative conversation with deep insight about some of Pearson's challenges and learnings from deploying OKRs at large scale.
- Discounted tickets (25% off) are available via the event page using the coupon code SPEAKER25
- And, if you work with a non-profit or price is a barrier to attending, drop me a reply: I have two free tickets I'd love to find a great home for.

In addition to Cindy's session, there are a few other sessions I personally can't wait to see:
- "Why implementing OKRs all-at-once was a failure and what to do instead" with the CCO of Safetica
- "I hate OKRs, but I love its benefits" with three participants from NewStore
- "Fujitsu's journey of transformation with OKRs" with Fujitsu's Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer
and more (plus networking with other in-house OKR pros and external OKR experts.
Live time zones are a challenge for us west coast folks (my panel with Cindy kicks off at 6:30am Pacific so I'm prepping the good coffee) but it's going to be worth it.
Drop me a note if you'd like to be considered for one of my two free speaker's tickets, and I hope to see you online at the event!
Thanks all,
- Sara

So let's cut to the chase: 🏃 If you'd like to participate but can't join live, this cohort is able to be completed...
