THE OKR
BLUEPRINT

"Finally, an OKR book that tells the truth about what it actually takes to make this work. Philipp Schett doesn't just explain the framework, he tackles the messy realities that leaders and transformation teams face every day. It's the first OKR book I'd hand to every program lead, transformation leader and executive sponsor on day one."

"This is a superb book! And yes, we did need another take on OKRs, one that is as clear on what not to do as it is on how to unlock the full value of OKRs. The OKR Blueprint is an invaluable guide and a fast, fruitful read for novices and practitioners alike."

"The OKR Blueprint stands out because it's grounded in real execution: not just what 'good' looks like, but how OKR programs commonly derail and what to do about it. If you're sponsoring an OKR rollout, or responsible for making one stick, this is a clear, experience-backed guide you'll come back to."

"While it seems straightforward, goal setting is hard and is a set of behaviours rather than a momentary event. This book shows the practical ways of ensuring success and alignment across an organization, with measurable outcomes along the way."

"The OKR Blueprint is the rare resource that understands the difference between theoretical alignment and the operational realities of high-growth tech environments at all levels of scale. This is the playbook for leaders who are seeking the right balance of speed, alignment and clarity."

"This book builds the shared vocabulary an organization needs so they can focus on applying the framework to their actual strategy. The underlying approach to structured goal-setting makes it useful reading for any team introducing objectives, goals, or KPI frameworks more broadly."

"Adopting OKRs has provided VieMed Healthcare with the structure and clarity to separate business-as-usual from work that moves the needle. If your organization struggles to protect focus in a fast-moving environment, The OKR Blueprint contains the framework you've been missing."

Annie Perret

Training Operations Manager, VieMed Healthcare

"We'd never run OKRs before we worked with Philipp Schett's team. The content of this book is what changed our processes: not the framework itself, but the discipline of focus, the rhythm of review, the willingness to surface the hard conversations. Essential for any executive sponsoring an OKR rollout."

Senior Director, Strategy and Operations, The Trade Desk

"The greatest challenge for any CEO is ensuring that top-level strategy gets embraced, translated and executed throughout the organization. In The OKR Blueprint, Philipp provides clear methodology for aligning and driving high-level goals into team priorities and the actions that drive results. This book is a masterclass in organizational and operational alignment."
