Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in the workshops?

The exact agenda will be supplied prior to each programme but expect workshops to contain a short welcome & icebreaker (5 min max), some OKR theory & slides (15-20min), and a lot of hands-on facilitation using Miro and other realtime collaboration tools for remote sessions and sticky notes, whiteboards, and face-to-face conversation for on-site sessions. We’ll also use breakout sessions so that teams can work together before coming back to share & debrief on what we’ve learned and achieved. For longer workshops (over 2 hours), there will be a 5-10 min break about every 90 minutes.

What tools will I need to participate?

For remoe workshops, you’ll need a web browser, unrestricted access to Zoom, Miro, and Google Workspace and sufficient bandwidth. Each participant should join from their own laptop, with their own camera and microphone/headset. This allows me to group people into different breakout rooms and ensures everyone has a good sound & video experience.

Do I have to turn my camera on for remote workshops?

You look fantastic! ;-) I love being able to see people’s facial expressions and understand how they’re doing and if they have questions, concerns, or ideas to share. But I totally understand that sometimes life happens, kids, animals, and imperfect hair-days strike and you’d like a bit more privacy. Feel free to turn the camera off when you need to and switch it back on whenever you like.

Can I join while I’m driving?

No. Are you crazy? 😜 Stay safe. Pull over to a safe place if you must join from a car but no workshop is worth risking your safety or that of others. :)

Can we join a remote workshop together from one conference room?

Please join individually from your own space with your own laptop, headset, camera and microphone. This allows everyone to participate equally using the online collaboration tools and enables me to easily put you into different breakout rooms for various activities. If you’d like to do the programme in the same physical space, ask about doing it onsite.

Can we record the workshops?

I’m happy to record sessions done via zoom for reference by the original group of participants for up to 2 weeks after the event. Please note that the breakout portions of the session are not captured in the recording and please ask me in advance so I remember to start recording!

How will the workshops be held?

The workshops are very hands on and lots of fun – I promise! To make them work, each participant will need access to Miro, Zoom, and Google Workspace with their own camera, microphone, and speakers (or headset).

How long does the programme take?

There are two versions: a 7 week programme and a 3 month programme. There’s some flexibility for holidays, illness, etc. but I am to wrap each programme up with in a week or two of the target end date.

When is the best time to start the programme?

You can start the programme at any time. It’s possible to shorten or extend either programme slightly to align with financial/calendar quarters but it’s best to run the programme as intended and flex the duration of the subsequent OKR cycle a bit if necessary.

What if we need to reschedule?

No problem! Things do come up. Please try to give me at least 48 hours notice if possible and I’ll do the same. I am to reschedule as quickly as possible and ask that rescheduled sessions happen within 14 days of the original date.

Can we do it in on-site, in person?

Programmes can be run on-site in Central London or remotely. Contact me for details.

How will you protect our data?

We use various collaboration tools which will be opened to allow anyone to read and write during our sessions. Please protect the URL carefully and treat it as you would a password. After the programme is over, I will ask you to download/copy any data you want to keep onto your own systems and I will delete my copies. I will keep certain company data longer to comply with legal requirements but only myself and any authorised employees will have access. For more information please sees my terms & privacy policy.
