OKR Workshops & Training
Strategy doesn't fail in the boardroom. It fails in the weeks after, when teams don't share a clear way to set and track goals. Our facilitated workshops and practical training give leaders and teams the skills to write, run and review OKRs on their own.
Over 10,000 workshops delivered and 5,000+ internal OKR Coaches certified.
Why goals and training don't stick
A planning offsite, a training day, and within weeks nothing has changed. Most of the time, it comes down to three things.
Competing priorities
Departments pull in different directions, diluting effort and creating friction.
Too academic
Theory that doesn't connect to the team's real challenges or daily work.
No reinforcement
A one-time event with no follow-up, so the new habits never take hold.
From the first workshop to lasting capability
Pick what you need today, or combine everything into one program.
Executive OKR workshops
We analyze your strategy beforehand, then facilitate the leadership team in co-writing focused, outcome-based OKRs with clear ownership.
Team OKR setting workshops
We help every team translate company priorities into its own OKRs, aligned across functions.
Live training and masterclass
Hands-on classes for teams that need to get up to speed quickly, plus an on-demand masterclass with 60+ video lessons. The free OKR Crash Course is a good place to start.
A 2 x 4-hour live online class that turns your own people into certified OKR Coaches, in cohorts of up to 15 participants.
Embedding the rhythm
Follow-up sessions that turn check-ins and business reviews into a habit, so execution keeps going after the workshop.
The result is a team that runs OKRs on its own.

Your Questions, Answered
No. We help you establish clearly defined strategic pillars that serve as the foundation for the workshop. Through targeted analysis and reviewing existing documents, we ensure the session is focused on developing impactful OKRs that precisely match your highest-level priorities.
For an organization to be truly coherent, alignment must cascade. Executive workshops set the strategic direction and define the top-level company OKRs. We then empower individual departments and teams in their own workshops to translate that strategic intent into their own context, creating true ownership at every level.
This is one of our core competencies. Our experienced OKR coaches are experts at guiding teams to formulate meaningful, outcome-oriented Key Results. If a team defaults to listing activities, our coaches facilitate the discussion to uncover the ultimate business outcome, ensuring the KRs measure actual progress toward that result.
Our training is intensely practical. We focus on how to formulate high-quality OKRs and effectively put them into action. Our courses include hands-on tips, and our live consulting sessions allow you to get direct feedback on your own OKRs, ensuring what you learn is immediately applied to your real work.
Our training clarifies these differences. OKRs are a strategic execution framework that aligns teams on ambitious, outcome-focused goals. While KPIs and SMART goals are important metrics, OKRs focus on moving the company forward, not just measuring daily activities. We show you how to combine these methods for maximum impact.
