Program Professional Framework
Certified OKRs Professional
Program Overview
Objectives and Key Results help organisations focus on a few ambitious outcomes and align teams around them in short, transparent cycles. This programme teaches the full OKR practice: writing inspiring objectives and measurable key results, distinguishing committed from aspirational OKRs, aligning vertically and horizontally without rigid cascading, and running weekly check-ins, mid-cycle reviews, end-of-cycle scoring and retrospectives. Participants also examine how OKRs coexist with KPIs, strategic plans and performance appraisal, and how to pilot them in Gulf organisations used to annual planning cycles.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants draft a quarter of OKRs for their team aligned to an organisational priority, a check-in and grading plan, and a one-page pilot roadmap for introducing OKRs in their department.
Assessment
