Long synopsis (optional):	It happened again: you thought you had set clear goals for the company, but at the end of the year results are disappointing. People worked hard, but for some reason all the efforts of the individual employees and their departments didn’t add up to one clear successful achievement. Your employees don’t seem to be happy either. They complain about the company goals to be “pushed” to them, while at the same time clear direction on how to create value is lacking. The alignment between the strategy defined at the top and the collective intelligence of the employees is a common challenge to many large companies. The use of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) has been recognized is a way to overcome this challenge since this framework was successfully applied at Google. Although the knowledge about how to define good OKRs increases, applying this knowledge to unleash the full potential of the entire workforce of the company is still difficult. This workshop is all about the experience. Wessel Hofman (Rugby player and Agile coach at Scrumit), Jasper Lamers (Agile consultant at Xebia), and Nienke Alma (Agile Coach at ING) create an experiential environment inspired by the world of sport that will help you to understand the dynamics of collective goal setting, and collective goal achievement. What is the role of management in that process? And what is expected from the people on the ‘shop floor’? What is needed to make their interaction effective?
