OKR Workshops: Top Level (1 of 4)

Armed with your deployment parameters, it's time to get going with OKR training!

A great OKRs workshop has two essential parts.

First comes theory, where leaders align on why OKRs matter, how they work, and how the organization will deploy them.

Then comes application, where teams actively draft and refine real OKRs through interactive exercises and discussion.

Ben explains how to structure both parts for maximum engagement, alignment, and real outcomes. And it all starts with the top-level workshop, the first in a series that details the four most valuable OKR workshops OKRs.com has delivered over the years!

To make the theory section more engaging, here is a sample 10-minute exercise that Ben mentions in this episode to get your group involved right from the start!

Instructions for Sample Workshop Exercise

Present a slide like the one shown above
Ask participants to share several metrics that they are currently tracking
Classify each metric as a health metric or a key result
Duration: five to ten minutes
Key points to reinforce:
Just because you measure it, does not mean it is a key result
Health metrics often take priority over key results if they move out of their ‘healthy range’
A given metric may shift from a key result to a health metric over time and vice versa
