Wave Nine’s OKR training enables teams to gain a uniform understanding of the OKR framework
Organizations need a shared language of success. When everyone in an organization is taking a different approach to goal setting, focusing and priority management, it’s difficult to achieve the transparency, alignment, and accountability that the OKR framework can deliver. Today, “OKRs” are often misunderstood and used in many different ways, which makes them ineffective as a framework for focus, transparency, and accountability. Wave Nine’s OKR Training creates this shared understanding through clear, structured training based on 300+ real-world implementations. Our senior consultants tailor the training and OKR way of working to fit your organization so that teams can use OKRs consistently and effectively.
