How We Deliver High-Impact OKR Training
Our training isn’t about lectures and slides it’s about real learning that sticks.
Using the 4C’s model (Connection, Concept, Concrete Practice, Conclusion), we create high-energy, hands-on sessions where participants learn by doing, sharing, and applying improving the perception of how OKR for Learning and Development is being deployed.
Experiential Training, Not Just Theory
We create interactive learning environments where people connect with the material and each other. From day one, participants are engaged in group activities, OKR writing, and scenario-based practice that’s directly relevant to their work.
Connection
We start by linking OKRs to each participant’s role and reality building immediate relevance and shared understanding.
Concept
Next, we introduce the core OKR principles through simple models, memorable metaphors, and real-world examples.
Concrete Practice
Participants immediately put their learning into action by writing, reviewing, and improving OKRs in small groups.
Conclusion
Each session ends with reflection, practical takeaways, and clear next steps in preparation for real-world application.
Common OKR for Learning and Development challenges we can address together
Navigating OKR for Learning and Development implementations can be complex.
Here are the common challenges we work with our clients to solve.
Vague or Task-Based OKRs
Problem: Teams often create OKRs that resemble task lists rather than focusing on impactful outcomes.
Solution: We teach patterns and techniques to help teams consistently craft outcome-oriented OKRs.
Unclear Ownership and Accountability
Problem: Ambiguity in OKR ownership can result in lack of accountability and follow-through.
Solution: We teach Teams how to create and define clear ownership structures, ensuring each OKR has an accountable individual or teams.
Inconsistent Quality Across Teams
Problem: Variability in OKR quality between teams can hinder organisational cohesion and performance.
Solution: Training everyone to a standard approach ensures consistency and shared understanding.
Setting and Forgetting OKRs
Problem: Establishing OKRs without regular review can lead to stagnation and missed opportunities for adjustment.
Solution: We’ll share an OKR execution process, including events and agendas that enables teams to undertake regular check-ins and reviews to keep OKRs dynamic and responsive to change.
Confusion Between OKRs and KPIs
Problem: Misunderstanding the distinction between OKRs and KPIs can blur performance tracking and goal setting.
Solution: We clarify the roles of OKRs and KPIs, ensuring each is used appropriately to measure success.
Absence of Regular OKR Cadence
Problem: Without a structured cadence, OKR processes can become disjointed and ineffective.
Solution: We help teams to understand what a consistent OKR cycle is, including planning, review, and retrospective phases.
Dependence on External Facilitation
Problem: Relying solely on external consultants for OKR processes can be unsustainable.
Solution: We empower your internal teams with the knowledge and tools to manage OKRs independently.
Lack of Confidence in OKR Creation
Problem: Teams may feel uncertain about formulating effective OKRs due to lack of experience or knowledge.
Solution: We use the 4C’s approach to improve learning and provide scenario based learning opportunities.
Confusion Around OKR Tools & Systems
Problem: Teams invest in OKR platforms without the knowledge to use them effectively leading to underuse, frustration, or misalignment between the tool and how teams actually work.
Solution: We provide tool-agnostic guidance and training on popular OKR systems helping you choose the right platform, set it up correctly, and train your teams to get real value from it.
Lack of Post-Training Support
Problem: Many organisations complete OKR training but struggle to embed the practice without continued guidance. Teams are left asking, “What now?”
Solution: We provide hands-on post-training support, including OKR coaching, feedback sessions, and rollout planning.
