Session 2

Refine & align OKRs across teams

In this session we’ll negotiate & align OKRs horizontally and vertically through the various teams in the cohort. Participants will learn to run an “OKR Festival” or an “OKR Gallery Walk” to negotiate and refine OKRs while identifying and addressing dependencies.

• Discuss “cascading” vs “laddering” vs “market-based alignment”
• Run an OKR Gallery Walk or OKR Festival
• Refine & align OKRs across multiple teams
• Teach participants how to facilitate an alignment session
• Leave with aligned OKRs ready to begin checking in

💪 Outcomes: Strong, well-aligned OKRs

Session 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

Session 4

Closing OKRs

At the end of the programme we will hold a session to help teams score & close their OKRs, capture valuable lessons, and retrospect on improvements to the 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.
