Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore

This document contains slides from a presentation by Andre Woolery on designing effective presentations by making slides visually appealing. The presentation covers various design elements like fonts, color, composition, shapes, and images that can be manipulated to grab audiences' attention and keep them engaged.

The document outlines 10 principles for designing effective presentations based on an analysis of some of the most loved presentations on Slideshare. The principles are to create a killer opening slide, craft an intriguing title, stick to a theme, keep text to a minimum, only include one idea per slide, make the structure clear through numbering, use interesting fonts, experiment with rotating text, include stunning visuals, and keep the presentation simple. Sample slides are provided to illustrate each principle.
This document provides guidance on using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) for goal setting and alignment. It outlines the best practice flow for setting OKRs, including determining overarching objectives, defining team and individual OKRs, and establishing initiatives and key results. It also discusses how to write good objectives and key results, and compares OKRs to key performance indicators. Management processes for OKRs including weekly check-ins, monthly reviews, and quarterly retrospectives are also covered.
This document discusses different models for aligning organizational objectives and key results (OKRs) across multiple levels or teams. It evaluates the alignment quality and potential challenges of each model. The best practice model involves aligning OKRs across two levels, with the company-wide OKR linking to team-level OKRs. This provides clear ownership and accountability while avoiding excessive management overhead. More complex alignment models risk becoming confusing or allowing teams to work in silos without coordination. Effective OKR alignment requires open communication throughout the process.

OKRs: How Google Achieves Company Goals Weekdone.com
John Doerr, one of the advocates for Objectives and Key Results, has said:“I remember being intrigued with the idea of having a beacon or north star every quarter, which helped set my priorities. It was also incredibly powerful for me to see Andy’s OKRs, my manager’s OKRs and the OKRs for my peers. I was quickly able to tie my work directly to the company’s goals. I kept my OKRs pinned up in my office and I wrote new OKRs every quarter, and the system has stayed with me ever since.“
OKRs is a easy process of setting company, team and personal goals and connecting each goal with 3-4 measurable results. As you achieve those results, the whole objective gets marked done.
OKRs, on a personal, team's and company level make up a system that shows how everything one person does connects to the work of others.
