Inside Outcomes: the podcast for strategists and the strategy execution community

Welcome back to Superkinetics!

Today's guest is Patrik Olofsson.
Some of you might already know him as he was a speaker at our Workpath Quarterly in June and also as a guest at our OKR Forum in Amsterdam.
He is a certified Scrum Master, and he is Chapter Lead and Vice President, leading the Agile Coaches at INGKA which is a part of the IKEA Group.

Patrik started his career as a developer and architect but over the last 20 years, his passion transitioned to agile transformations, continuous improvement in orgs, and coaching.
He provides new approaches and new ways of working that have brought increased efficiency and profitability to the companies he worked with.

Today we’ll talk about organizational change, OKRs and particularly about scaling and the challenges that arise with it.
