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.
Who this course is for:
- Managers, Directors, Executives and CxOs
- Cross-functional leaders like Product Managers
