(OKRs) Objectives & Key Results Workshop
90–120 min3–10 peopleRemote · Hybrid · In-person
Align your team on shared goals so they can work autonomously and stay focused.
What is this workshop?
OKRs fail when they're handed down from leadership rather than built bottom-up. This workshop guides your team through writing their own Objectives and Key Results — with enough structure to keep them ambitious and measurable, and enough space to make them genuinely owned. The result is a set of OKRs your team will actually use to make decisions.
What's included
- OKR framework overview slides
- Objective writing canvas
- Key Result quality checker
- Quarterly OKR tracker template
This is for you if…

How to run this workshop
- 1Make a copy of the Google Slides deck — go to File → Make a copy → Entire presentation.
- 2Share the deck with your team a day before and ask them to read slides 1–5 in advance.
- 3Open the workshop by aligning on what a good Objective looks like: inspiring, qualitative, time-bound.
- 4Brainstorm 5–7 potential Objectives in small groups, then vote on the top two.
- 5For each Objective, write 3–5 Key Results that are measurable and binary (either achieved or not).
- 6Pressure-test each KR: if you hit it, would you actually be sure the Objective was met?
Tips for first-time facilitators
- Ask the team to read slides 1–5 the day before — it prevents spending half the session on definitions.
- Push back on Key Results that aren't measurable. 'Improve customer satisfaction' is an Objective, not a KR.
- OKRs should feel slightly uncomfortable. If everyone's confident you'll hit 100%, they're not ambitious enough.
