OKR Training Course

Identify the right goals, communicate them effectively, align people and make measurable progress

The next edition of the workshop will be held in Italian. Join the waiting list to be the first to know when we schedule an English edition, or visit the OKR Workshop’s Italian page.

Explore the transformative potential of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and discover how this methodology can provide clear direction to organizations, creating the foundation for long-term growth.

OKRs are not just a tool, but a powerful engine that provides people and companies with the vision needed to set ambitious goals and focus on achieving them.
With clear, concrete and communicated objectives at all levels, companies can maintain the right focus and resist the distractions of a market full of opportunities.

During the OKR workshop, designed and conducted by Francesco Fullone, you will delve into the essence of OKRs, learn the best practices for their implementation and discover how to make them evolve dynamically over time.

Through interactive sessions, hands-on exercises and sharing experiences, you will gain skills that will transform your perspective on goal management.

Target Audience

The OKR Workshop is aimed:

  • team leaders, project or area representatives, C-levels and entrepreneurs, but also to freelancers and professionals who want to improve themselves,
  • people who have the ability and decision-making power and the ability to enable their work group to embrace its operating methods,
  • consultants who want to organize their work by setting concrete but at the same time challenging and growth objectives.

Program

The OKR Workshop program takes place over 4 half days, in online but synchronous mode, in an interactive and engaging environment to maximize your learning.

During this journey, you will have the opportunity to analyze the importance of adopting metrics that arise from why and not from quantity. You will discover OKRs as a powerful tool for defining and evolving these metrics, a tool that enables delegation more effectively and allows structured growth.

Through a series of insights, we will explore key topics together, including the distinction between metrics and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), the different objective management methodologies (KPIs, MBOs, Balanced Score Cards, etc.), the origins of OKRs and the main implementations in the corporate context.

Furthermore, we will have a very practical experience of creating OKRs at operational, tactical and strategic levels, exploring key aspects of each phase.

The workshop will conclude with a focus on corporate culture and the crucial role of OKRs in shaping a medium-long term vision, thus facilitating continuous innovation processes.

Why should you attend

Online Workshop – How does it work

The course is structured around a fictitious use case that will allow us to apply the concepts covered right from the first session.

For the entire duration of the 4 sessions, the course will alternate frontal moments with practical exercises in which participants will be constantly involved, working individually and in groups.

The course will take place online and live for a maximum of 16 people: the teacher and all participants will be in video conference and will have a series of digital tools available to interact with each other and work hands-on.
Despite the online mode, the course maintains its interactive and participatory approach.

For this reason, it is required that all participants have their cameras turned on for the entire duration of the workshop for better enjoyment and communication.
It will not be a passive course, made only of slides and pre-recorded videos.

We will apply some principles of the Training from the back of the room method, with a prevalence of activities over lectures.

The few theoretical definitions are accompanied by numerous exercises and practical activities.
Sharing between participants and the support of the trainer complete the training framework.

F.A.Q.

Suggested readings? How do I get ready for the workshop?

Is there anything I must do before I buy a ticket for this online workshop?
If you have a computer/tablet, a stable connection (at least 20 Mbps in download and 10 Mbps in upload), earphones, a microphone, and a webcam, then you’re ready to join the workshop.
You’ll get detailed information on what tools we’ll be using and how to get ready a couple of weeks prior to the workshop.
Check out your connection’s speed.
The workshop will keep its highly interactive and hands-on spirit despite being online. This is why we require that all participants keep their webcam on for the whole duration of the workshop: this will enhance the quality of the communication and of the workshop as a whole.

N.B.

This workshop will be confirmed upon reaching the minimum number of participants. We’ll send an official confirmation to all registered attendees two weeks prior to the workshop dates at the latest.

About the workshop
