Course Description
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of OKRs, from Objectives and Key Results to the three mechanisms that make them work: The Planning Habit, The Execution Cadence and The Quarterly Cycle.
In Section 1, we'll look at some of the problems that you may recognise that may be driving you to want to use OKRs. It's essential to understand what you're trying to change before you start, so you can ensure you actually address those issues.
In Section 2, we'll talk about what good looks like - what you're really trying to achieve as a leader, so you rather than just solving the problems, you know where you want to get to.
In Section 3, we'll summaries the five components of the OKR management system - so you know how they all fit together and why they are there.
In Section 4, we'll cover Objectives, and how to write a good one that links to your strategy.
In Section 5, we'll go into Key Results in detail, including some alternative formats, examples, how to set them and select the right metrics, and how to review your Objectives and Key Results together.
In Section 6, we'll introduce The Planning Habit, including the One Page Plan and template, as well as how to review and align with your team and stakeholders to get their buy-in.
In Section 7, we'll introduce The Execution Cadence, so you know how best to run OKRs in your week by week work cycle to create momentum and deliver results.
In Section 8, we'll describe the Quarterly OKR Cycle, and how consecutive cycles can fit together to deliver results over time and actually execute your strategy.
Throughout the course, we'll be using a few simple exercises to help you set OKRs, start planning and executing, and get ready for the next OKR cycle.

Glad to participate in this course. Lots of practical content for today's business world, no matter whether you are a part of a larger or smaller team—or even a solopreneur. For a two-and-a-half-hour course, it took a whole lot more time to (really) understand some of the lessons. However, great stuff!

Algunos de los recursos no servian, como la hoja del plan no pudo descargarla y me hubiera agradado tener el template de ella

Print on slidesis always not clear or easy to read on cellphone-sized screens. I don't really need to see the speakers face the while time.

Gets little confusing in the middle.. especially when u have a team and you are working for a customer project.. It gets fuzzy for which one do one set the OKR.. and thinking of examples while we discuss..

good experience
By Christoph Steinlehner on 8/11/2023
This is the best concise OKR training material I have seen. The info is on point, without fluff, very actionable, with examples, and covers the whole OKR process.
By Dimitri Page on 8/9/2023
It's really well put together, I love how there is a concrete example being referenced all along the course that makes the power of OKRs done well so clear. It's really well articulated, every single sentence provides value. The amount of knowledge gathered though his experience about all the things to think about when implementing okrs is impressive!

I highly recommend this course on OKRs. Richard covers all the essential elements, from addressing the problems that necessitate the use of OKRs to defining what success looks like. The course goes beyond theory and provides practical techniques and a clear roadmap to help implement OKRs in your organization.
By David Ruwoldt on 7/13/2023
The course is detailed, has lots of great content and tips and takes you through OKRs, what they are and how to use them extremely well.
By Dora Nagy on 7/13/2023
Fantastic course for anyone starting out with OKRs / or looking for some best practices in making their existing process better. Richard's practical, simple, and results-focused approach is great: you won't need to read OKR books with a bunch of frameworks to be able to get started.
