From Project to Product Thinking
Together with being a great tool for bottom-up and top-down alignment, OKRs are a great way to support teams to shift their focus from projects and their output to products and their outcomes for customers.
In this session we’ll demonstrate how we are cascading down Julius Baer’s high-level group strategy to the day-to-day scope of delivery teams, while empowering the teams to independently identify how they can have an impact on Julius Baer’s strategic priorities. We will share the journey of one of our infrastructure teams, an area that traditionally found it hard to relate their daily work to the business outcome.
