Many executives we meet in growth businesses say their OKRs seem to lose their power after Q1.

Like new year’s resolutions, they are important at the time but leaders find more urgent things at the top of their agendas. When we dug a little deeper, we found seven causes including:

• Key results couldn’t be adapted to suit the local situation

• Differences in understanding of what OKRs can and cannot do

• They didn’t hit the sweet spot between top-down and bottom-up needs

• Nobody thought to include BAU and revenue protection measures

• Strategy becomes stale very quickly in a fast-moving business

• It’s hard to be objective in a strategy workshop

• Objectives weren’t really focused on delivery.

Whilst helping our clients with OKR-setting, we are sharing the improvements with leaders and managers which is why we wanted to let you know of our OKR masterclass. The masterclass is interactive, friendly, and participative so you will bring your own OKRs and questions for us to help you with.

This one is 60 minutes, free to attend, but invitation-only so please register below and we will confirm your place by sending you the event invitation.

Register your interest and save the date: 30 May 10am GMT / 11am CEST

As well as answering your OKR questions and improving your OKRs, you will receive the presentation materials, an extract from the Agile OKRs book, and the opportunity for an in-depth session with our OKR experts under NDA protection.
