Strategic Management with OKRs

In today’s VUCA world, organizations must quickly and clearly align their teams to strategic priorities. The Strategic Management with OKRs Training addresses that by providing a solid framework to set and review strategic goals.

This program is especially recommended for organizations that have already implemented the OKR system but feel there’s more potential to unlock, as well as for those preparing to introduce it or currently in the process of implementation.

The training centers on the proper implementation and use of Objectives and Key Results (OKR) system. It can be a powerful, agile goal-setting system used by leading companies to drive transformational change if used well. Participants will gain a deep and precise understanding of the goal pyramid and its components, as well as how OKRs align with it. We’ll revisit the most important and widely used analytical tools that can support the planning process, practice their application, and address the most common mistakes.

The course emphasizes the practical application of OKR rules principles: setting transformative objectives and well-connected measurable key results focused on outcomes. Hands-on exercises cover essential techniques to ensure balanced focus and ambitious yet realistic goal-setting.

Finally, the training focuses on sustaining momentum through effective quarterly and yearly reviews. Participants will learn to lead motivating, non-punitive review conversations, correctly score KRs, and differentiate between execution gaps and assumption gaps for continuous learning and organizational alignment.

• Apply core strategic concepts and analytical tools to design transformative goals.
