  • The essentials of building great alignment..
    Jul 3 2023

    Join us to spend a fascinating hour digging into the often-misunderstood concept of “alignment” with Jonathon Hensley – CEO, board member of multiple silicon valley businesses and author of the book called, yes, you guessed it: “Alignment.”

    Jonathon has long been curious about why some businesses manage to align really well, and others don’t. What is it the good ones are doing that the others are not? This is exactly where we start, and then go on to look at the different types of alignment, some practical tips leaders can start doing right now and even the biological drivers we all have which make us want to connect and align.

    If anything, the key takeaway from our conversation is that alignment is far more than just writing your goals as OKRs. Managing the change and cultivating the right culture is essential to build great alignment.

    You can find Jonathon's book in your chosen bookstore – just search for “Alignment Jonathon Hensley”

    Enjoy!

  • Help! Even OKRs Aren't Agile Enough!
    Sep 9 2019

    For this episode I was joined by Austin Kimm from Crypterium who gave us a fascinating insight into the world of Cryptocurrencies.

    This is a market that is changing so quickly that even OKRs can't keep up with how agile they need to be. Austin and I discuss not only how to conquer this challenge, but also how to work in a highly distributed organisation with very contrasting cultural approaches to work.
