ZOKRI

Strategy and OKR Consultant

Outcomes Thinking 

I help product organisations change their focus from outputs to outcomes. 

My typical clients are high-growth tech-oriented startups.  

I coach leadership teams to articulate their strategy, define persistent metrics and set powerful goals. 

Then I work with their teams to employ fast learning cycles to significantly improve their chances of delivering the outcomes the organisation and their customers need.

Strategy and OKR Coach

Elsevier

At Elsevier I focused on achieving a few key goals. 
* Building organisational alignment through the implementation of OKRs
* Coaching and training product teams in outcomes planning product management techniques
* Managing the organisations largest portfolio of product investments

Achieving this has drawn on my three key work passions
* Through the implementation of OKRs I helped colleague understand the 'why?'
* Collectively we promoted inclusion and psychological safety with the teams we worked in
* I helped strengthen the bond between strategy and execution.

I also learned from working with a rapidly growing and highly capable technology organisation as part of the leadership team. 

And learned from the things I’ve tried that didn’t work and continue to do so!
