OKR Essentials is a practical, interactive course designed to give you a strong foundation in the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework. You’ll learn the origins and structure of OKRs, how they drive focus, alignment, agility, and accountability, and how to apply a disciplined process to implement OKRs at every level of your organization. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll develop clear, inspiring objectives and measurable, outcome-focused key results, while learning to avoid common pitfalls and apply best practices for success.
