The @DC_CAP team spent two half-day retreats this week learning about, and then applying, the Objectives and Key Results framework. I’ve been hearing about OKR evangelism for years (h/t @BradleyKates) but it’s been exciting to put them into action.

I was blown away by the thoughtful questions from this terrific group of PhD students visiting DC from @USCRossier and @USCDornsife They are deeply committed to equity, justice, and translating their research into practice.
