What participants say about our OKR training courses

Pure practical relevance from the OKR experts – with lots of practical exercises and group work

The seminar places particular emphasis on experiencing the benefits of practical OKR application and its influence on the impact of one’s own leadership behavior – because this can only be learned through application.

You will learn intensively how to accompany the OKR process as a manager – from its introduction to its routine application. You will learn and deepen the skills and decision-making criteria that you need in your management role in order to fully exploit the potential of OKR. The seminar is a combination of in-depth OKR training and targeted management training.

You will put what you have learned directly into practice in numerous practical exercises and experience the philosophy behind OKR and the new leadership associated with it.

Using case studies and decision scenarios, you will practice effective leadership behavior together in small groups with the help of OKR. You will go through an entire OKR cycle with all meetings and receive numerous tips, tricks and tools on how you can successfully apply the OKR method as a manager in your corporate context.

This is supplemented by the teaching of proven leadership models, (motivational) psychological backgrounds and the practical learning of empirically proven core leadership skills.
