PMI NEFL would love to welcome our members new and old alike to our yearly membership dinner. Come out for a great opportunity to mingle with your fellow members, with some great icebreakers. The food is on us, see you there!!

During this talk we’ll explore methods designed to help organizations shift from an output- to outcome-centric stance and why this shift matters. We’ll explore the beauty and blemishes of OKRs, value management, outcome roadmaps, and methods for organizing people and teams around value. Though we’ll only start to scratch the surface of these topics and more, you’ll come away with a hearty collection of resources that – if you’re inspired to make the shift matter in your own organization – will help launch you on your journey toward a relentless pursuit of outcomes!
