WEBVTT 00:00.880 --> 00:04.160 Hi there and welcome to my introduction to okrs course 00:04.660 --> 00:08.520 or objectives and key results. You know, this course is all about helping 00:09.020 --> 00:12.880 you create real focus for your teams, align them on what's most important and connect 00:13.380 --> 00:16.960 them with the why behind their work. Most of all, it's about helping 00:17.460 --> 00:20.760 create that accountability for the team so they know who's doing what and how they 00:21.260 --> 00:25.040 need to drive radical outcomes. How we actually do that I'm going to get 00:25.540 --> 00:28.490 to in a moment. First, a little bit about me. My name's Tim Newbold. 00:28.990 --> 00:32.610 I'm the Director of Strategy and Founder at Skillfire. I've used 00:33.110 --> 00:36.250 okrs to help me grow my business and have really had a great 00:36.750 --> 00:40.210 time using them. And it's been very inspiring for me to see just how these 00:40.710 --> 00:43.890 practices can help you drive focus and outcomes within a business. 00:44.690 --> 00:48.530 But before that, I was actually applying it myself in my own personal life. 00:49.030 --> 00:53.010 And this is about 10 years ago for me. I was always very goal oriented, 00:53.510 --> 00:56.610 I was trying to achieve things, but I'd always find that the work 00:57.110 --> 01:00.710 that I did never actually delivered any material change in my life. 01:01.210 --> 01:04.710 I would get stuff done, but I'd be like, okay, what value does that actually 01:05.210 --> 01:09.150 add? So okrs helped me connect with the why and seeing value 01:09.230 --> 01:12.670 and things that I'm trying to achieve. And so that's where 01:12.830 --> 01:16.710 I embraced the OKR in my personal life. From there, I helped many 01:17.210 --> 01:20.350 businesses all around Australia and now the world go through the same journey. 01:20.590 --> 01:23.750 Everything from your small startups that are bootstrapping to 01:24.250 --> 01:26.830 your major corporates that are filled with thousands of people. 01:27.300 --> 01:30.860 I've applied the OKR framework to get that cohesion and alignment 01:31.360 --> 01:34.020 and focus to really drive radical outcomes. 01:34.980 --> 01:37.540 Now, I might be making it sound like it's all been a blast and I've 01:38.040 --> 01:41.180 been incredibly successful off the back of it. I made a hell 01:41.680 --> 01:45.700 of a lot of mistakes, more than I'd like to admit. But through that I've 01:46.200 --> 01:49.700 learned so much. And this course condenses all those learnings 01:50.200 --> 01:53.460 down into something that is really bite sized, easy to understand, 01:54.320 --> 01:58.240 but a lot of content with it. So we talk about how 01:58.740 --> 02:02.640 do you understand the core concepts of the objectives and key results framework. I actually 02:03.140 --> 02:05.920 give you a pack that you can then share with teams to help them understand 02:06.000 --> 02:09.240 the same thing. You know, we've got to get everyone on the same page on 02:09.740 --> 02:11.920 what this is about and how we're going to drive those outcomes. 02:13.200 --> 02:17.320 Beyond that, we then actually go about how do we go through an introduction 02:17.820 --> 02:20.880 to okrs with our team? How do we introduce the concept to them, how do 02:21.380 --> 02:23.520 we get them bought in on the journey? Because this is about change management. 02:24.020 --> 02:27.080 Remember, member, and this is actually a little bit of our secret sauce. It's talking 02:27.580 --> 02:31.040 about creating change through story. And don't worry, I'm not 02:31.540 --> 02:34.200 great at stories. You don't have to be either, but it's about how do we 02:34.700 --> 02:38.520 connect people with why we're doing this. So we give you a structure to introduce 02:38.600 --> 02:42.200 the OKRs to your team. That's not much good, though, if you don't know how 02:42.700 --> 02:46.560 to actually create a good okr. Right, so that's where the course actually takes 02:47.060 --> 02:50.640 you through the journey of facilitating an objectives and key results workshop where 02:51.140 --> 02:54.580 you can get your team understanding what. What is the most important thing we're trying 02:55.080 --> 02:57.580 to achieve right now and how are we going to get there? You're going to 02:58.080 --> 03:01.220 create outcomes that are incredibly inspirational and motivating 03:01.720 --> 03:04.580 for the team. You're going to create key results that just don't tell you where 03:05.080 --> 03:07.460 you need to end up. They're actually going to give you a measure so that 03:07.960 --> 03:10.460 you know you are following the right path along the whole way. 03:11.020 --> 03:13.340 That right there is an absolute game changer. 03:14.220 --> 03:17.820 Now, this course, it's an online course, it's a video. 03:18.320 --> 03:21.420 There is so much content here that you can get templates, 03:21.920 --> 03:24.820 all kinds of things that are just going to save you. I don't even want 03:25.320 --> 03:28.540 to admit how many hours it's taken me to create this stuff over time, 03:28.940 --> 03:31.420 but trust me, it's going to save you a lot of time. 03:32.620 --> 03:36.140 On top of that, though, it is going to be access to our 03:36.640 --> 03:40.260 community. Now. You can come to us and ask us any sort of questions 03:40.760 --> 03:43.340 that you've got. So you're not doing this on your own. You're not just coming 03:43.840 --> 03:47.430 online, watching a few videos and going off and making it happen. You're going 03:47.930 --> 03:50.950 through this with many other people who have gone through the same thing. You've got 03:51.450 --> 03:54.710 myself and my team that are there to support you and champion you through this 03:55.210 --> 03:58.310 every step of the way. And also a number of OKR coaches that we have 03:58.810 --> 04:02.070 from all around the world coming in onto our group and helping and supporting you 04:02.150 --> 04:05.670 to make this happen. So, look, I can't wait to start 04:06.170 --> 04:08.910 working with you. I'm super pumped about this. We're going to have an absolute blast 04:09.410 --> 04:12.510 working together. Jump onto the forums, let's have a discussion, 04:13.010 --> 04:15.190 get started with this course. I'll see you shortly.
