Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, It's important for any business' long-term success. Not only does sustainability benefit the environment, it also positively impacts a company's reputation, employee satisfaction, and bottomline. In this presentation, we'll explore the importance of enterprise sustainability practices, how organizations can define strategies aligned with sustainability, and how Clarity helps you manage it all.

Clarity Powers Sustainable Business Practices

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a goal-setting framework that helps organizations define and communicate their objectives, measure progress, and achieve desired outcomes.

During this session, we will explore pressing questions with real-life examples and use cases, including:
- What are the benefits of using OKRs in a SAFe environment?
- How have enterprises successfully implemented OKRs and SAFe together?
- How do PI Objectives and OKRs relate, and are both necessary?
- What are some emerging patterns around cascading OKRs from an enterprise level?

Teams will better adapt to changes and work toward shared goals, in much the way that a professional kitchen operates. Join us in this one-hour session as we explore how OKRs can be integrated into agile environments:

- Through case studies, understand the power of value with  synergies between OKRs with Agile approaches
