Course overview

Can you afford to fail with OKRs?

When used well OKRs are a game changer, driving focus and creating alignment, but many organisations struggle to adopt them.

You can read endless blog posts and watch countless YouTube videos and go it alone.

Alternatively you can join a cohort based live course and learn the same techniques as the c-suites and product teams at my unicorn and household name clients.

Be the OKR leader your organisation needs.
