OKR Accelerator Programme

Workshop 1

Setting OKRs

In this first session, we’ll learn about OKR foundation set real OKRs for up to five teams across an 8-week OKR cycle.

Together we’ll discover:

• OKR origins, mindset, and grammar
• How OKRs connect strategy and execution
• How OKRs fit into wider corporate mission, vision, etc
• The way activities support (and differ from) OKRs
• Using OKRs with health metrics and KPIs for total visibility
• Supporting R&D, customer success, and operations teams with OKRs
• Setting OKrs with my flexible “OKR Map” technique

Plus 90 minutes of facilitation to set real OKRs

💪 Outcomes: Foundational understanding & draft OKRs for each team

Workshop 2

Refine & align OKRs across teams

A few days after the first session we’ll go deeper to refine our draft OKRs and align them across multiple teams in a fully facilitated “OKR Festival”. When doing the Accelerator programme with a single team, we will refine our original set of OKRs in the context of the wider organisation.

Plus we’ll learn to:

• Review, challenge, and strengthen draft OKRs
• Avoid top-down cascading
• Inform top-level OKRs with “ground truth” from teams
• Use rapid “market-based” OKR alignment
• Eliminate dependencies with smart team design
• Use “grading guides” to make binary OKRs measurable

💪 Outcomes: Strong, well-aligned OKRs

Workshop 3

OKR Check-ins

Check-ins are the most important part of the OKR framework. This workshop includes 90 minutes of guided check-in practice with teams using the real OKRs we set previously. By the end the team will understand:

• My powerful and easy OKR check-in method
• My clear and simple OKR tracking templates
• Why we measure confidence over progress
• How check-ins improve OKR quality
• How simple check-ins can replace heavy reporting & governance
• How check-ins enable rapid, deep organisational learning
• A short story about sharing OKR confidence

💪 Outcome: Teams ready to perform regular check-ins

Workshop 4

Closing OKRs

Held at the end of the programme, teams will close their OKRs, share valuable lessons, and reflect on how to improve their OKR process for the next cycle.

• Help to close teams’ OKRs
• Capture & share outcomes & learnings
• Explore pros and cons of scoring
• Retrospect on the OKR process
• Enjoy a structured Q&A session
• Set up the next cycle

💪 Outcomes: Teams have closed their OKRs, agreed how to improve the process, and are ready to begin the next cycle.

Continuous support

Teams will also receive continuous hands-on support throughout the programme including:

• Weekly calls Q&A and check-in calls
• Async support via Slack, email, and video messaging
• Engage 1-to-1 or with the wider group
• Build up an internal OKR Champions’ Community
