Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Ask three people what your company's top priority is this quarter. If you get three answers, the strategy is not being executed; it is being stored. Here are 287 tools to execute it: 217 ready-to-use procedures, question lists, templates and checklists, 45 models and methods, 20 services shown on screen and 5 working files.
Open a lecture, take the template, and cascade one strategic goal this quarter.
Where the chain breaks
The strategy is approved, goals are set once a year and forgotten by spring. KPIs measure what is easy to count, team goals do not connect to the company ones, and the annual review discusses a year nobody remembers. Change stalls because people never understood why it was needed.
What changes after this course
The strategy becomes a plan, goals cascade with OKR and are reviewed every quarter, indicators show progress, individual agreements connect to team goals, and review meetings lead to decisions. People understand the change and the new way of working stays.

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe. I am also a founder and lead the strategy of my own academy.
I lived with annual goals and then introduced OKR with quarterly cycles, and I saw it myself: with annual goals people forget them within a month and remember only at the end of the year. At Preply we introduced OKR in 15Five, and candidates were impressed when we opened the system in the interview and showed how a recruiter's goals connected to the company's.
