OCTO Academy (OCTO Technology – Accenture Group) Partners with OKRmentors to Elevate and Certify Its OKR Training Portfolio
After years of delivering OKR training, OCTO Academy strengthens its offering through a strategic certification partnership with OKRmentors.
Paris, France | February 2, 2026 — OKRmentors, the global authority in Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and strategy execution, today announced a strategic partnership with OCTO Academy, the training entity of OCTO Technology, to certify and further elevate OCTO’s OKR training programs.
For several years, OCTO Academy has been supporting organizations with OKR training as part of OCTO Technology’s broader digital and organizational transformation work. As the initiator of this collaboration, OCTO Academy has chosen to align its OKR programs with OKRmentors’ certification standards in order to reinforce quality, consistency, and international recognition across its portfolio.
The partnership reflects a shared conviction: as OKRs mature from a popular framework into a core execution discipline, organizations require structured, high-quality, certification-backed learning experiences that ensure rigor and sustainable adoption.
Market context: why certification now matters
As more organizations seek to elevate their strategy execution capabilities, OKRs have become a central lever. Today, more than 40% of companies worldwide use OKRs.*
To fully leverage the method, organizations increasingly invest in certification-backed programs that provide a shared language, methodological rigor, and long-term capability building.
