Don't just set team goals; achieve them.
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) have exploded across the business world in the last couple of decades, helping start-ups and FAANG companies alike achieve outsized results. Yet implementing them successfully is tricky. Do the process correctly, and you'll supercharge your alignment and progress. Do them wrong, and you'll waste time and frustrate your team.
If you're tired of setting goals for your team that never quite materialize or you've tried (and failed) at OKRs before, this is the course for you. Christina Wodtke literally wrote the book on OKRs and regularly takes high-priced coaching calls with CEOs and directors wanting to improve their businesses. Now, you can get the same insight in a self-paced course.
Join Christina as she walks you through, step by step, how to make OKRs a goal-achieving system. The secret is the cadence, the set of routines that pull your team along to regular, steady progress.
Learn:
the detailed framework for setting inspiring Objectives and useful Key Results
the exact weekly habits and rituals that turn your team into high achievers
the most common implementation mistakes and how to avoid them
exactly how to decide on one Objective for radical focus and maximum results
how to recover if your first goal goes down in flames
how to "pivot, persevere, or perish" in time to set the next quarter's goals
metrics thinking and what to do if you don’t have good data
why you should NEVER cascade OKRs and what to do instead
how to cultivate a learning mindset to supercharge your results
If you're tired of waiting for the Goal Fairy to deliver your team's goals under your pillow, don't despair. Learn how the world's biggest companies use OKRs (with radical focus) to drive goal achievement week by week.
Managers, executives and autonomous teams who need to align people and see big results
People who have tried and failed at OKRs in the past and want the specific routine that will help them achieve their goals
Small business owners, start-ups or anyone else who needs radical focus and flawless execution to succeed
Learn the practice of radical focus and how a single inspiring Objective drives outsized results. Use metrics thinking to choose a meaningful KR for your team to track their progress against and understand how and when to adjust your tactics.
The difference between goal setters and goal achievers is the cadence of check-ins. Establish Monday meetings, Friday celebrations, and regular health and metrics monitoring to facilitate hard conversations, progress, and learning.
Huge goals are made one quarter at a time. Learn how to set OKRs efficiently at the beginning of the quarter and assess at the end. Do you "pivot, persevere, or perish" for next quarter? Leverage this quarter to drive the next.

This course is a great way to get you to understand the core fundamentals of the OKR process and help you re-look at your existing approach or plan for a new way to measure.

For any leader who is curious about how to use and implement OKRs, I would highly recommend this course. Christina Wodtke breaks down the goal-setting and achieving process into simple steps and explores how to navigate the nuances that different workplaces present. I left with a long reading list that I'm excited to tackle, a strong foundation of when and how to implement OKRs, and a set of materials I'll be referencing for years to come.
