This course is a must-do for anyone who wants to master OKRs concepts and practices. Ben knows best about OKRs in real life. He gives all you need to know to become an OKR Coach—strongly recommended.

I liked the setup of the training, small video's with a duration off ~5 minutes and a quiz. I use OKR's for some years and we have within Station10 developed our own approach. Great to learn new ways of implementing and looking at OKR's. Especially the different ways of implementing Key Results is useful. I downloaded the models. Useful. I already read the book of John Doerr and started reading "The OK Field Book" (Ben Lamorte) and "Radical Focus" (Christina Wodtke). Looking forward to it.

I took this course even though I am an already certified OKRs Master in my organization. The reason why I took it was that despite having gone through several OKR cycles, I still had many questions and wanted to get additional insights from an experienced OKR Coach in order to address the blockers we are still struggling with. Many of the aspects that the course covers are in fact addressing our main blockers, e.g. the point about milestone KRs not being allowed. Ben's approach of allowing for metric, baseline, or milestone KRs was a real eye-opener to me and I will certainly try and apply it in my next Reset and Reflect Session to support colleagues drafting their KRs. Also, the idea of thinking about and writing down the Why/Why now details has already helped me to challenge the team to think less in outputs but more in outcomes. What I am still struggling with - though not expecting this course to cover - is the fact that we have a highly undisciplined meeting and conversation culture in my organization. Even when sending detailed emails defining the goal, the agenda and instructions how to prepare for the reflect and reset session, people come unprepared and discussions about whether to keep, modify or remove a KR drift apart. It turns out to be a tough job to keep focus and stay in time. Again, I do not expect this course to address this aspect. It is just a reflection of what other OKR Coaches may also experience. To sum it up, I highly recommend this course even if you are not a complete new to OKR coaching, as it gives extremely precious, clear and hands-on recommendations not just for aspiring but also for a bit more experienced OKR Coaches.

Ben's experience, tips and recommendations helped me understand the different approaches to setting up OKRs and then allowed me to prepare a step-by-step implementation map. I appreciate the high practicality of the information and how Ben put each step into the overall context. Reading this book was a solid impulse to start re-implementing OKR in our company.

A good introduction to OKRs and what to focus on as a coach, in my case an internal one. Top practical tips are very helpful as are the free tools. The book will definitely support this learning.

It is a simple, practical, thought provoking course that helps us correctly design OKR, how we need to change our mindset if we have been used to KPI for long time, and how do we understand the difference between OKR and KPI and how this two are co-exist together.

Congratulations for this is the most complete Introduction to OKRs Coaching. Ben Lamorte is sharing his practical OKR experiences and provides a first definition of OKRs coaching. It is the perfect starting point for everyone who needs clear instructions how to implement OKRs and certainly a treasure trove as it brings clarity to all current & potential OKRs coaches wanting to create more value for their companies or the companies they work with. No doubt about it! The learnings from this is certainly helping all companies in their use of OKRs and ultimately impact results!

Key Takeaways ... Do ...Do Not . Love the YES and NO to OKRs . WHY OKRs is very important and to promote culture of learning and communication . This will motivate and not demoralize staff . Promotes a culture of team work .

It opens an eye to approach the coaching, training & cycles for OKR Implementation. Take it forward into my real time OKR coaching.

An excellent introduction to OKRs, especially for new OKR coaches. Well structured, with lots of valuable examples and tips and plenty of food for thought regarding this "creative thinking framework". Just right in terms of length, pacing and tonality and a great summary of The OKRs Field book.
