In this episode, Jenny continues with Part 2 of the interview speaking with Ben Lamorte, founder of OKRs.com. Ben has more OKR coaching experience than anyone on the planet. He discusses the things that should happen at the end of an OKR cycle, what it means to be a Key Result champion, what to do if you know you won't make any impact on your OKRs this quarter, how to make a metric that matters and more.
