About Us and Our Coaches

THE OKR Institute
We established OKRI in 2017 to be a unique organization comprised of individuals dedicated to the mission of assisting people and teams in adopting an outcome-driven mindset and making a meaningful impact. This mission is at the core of everything we do. We have witnessed firsthand how individuals, teams and organizations have utilized the power of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to revolutionize their work processes and deliver value. Our goal is to support teams and organizations in achieving the same level of success.
To strengthen this mission, we created the OKRImpact Board™, a global body of experts and practitioners who guide the evolution of OKR practices across industries. The Board brings together leaders in strategy, performance, people and change, and digital innovation, ensuring that our methodologies remain relevant, impactful, and aligned with the future of work.
OKRI has training and coaching centres in Germany, the Netherlands, England, Switzerland, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, UAE, Canada, and the United States. We have conducted over 12,000 OKR courses and workshops with more than 70,000 participants and have provided customized OKR Implementation programs for over 1,000 organizations (i.e. Roche, BCG, Moody’s, Microsoft, Amazon, Gulfstream, Bauhaus, VW, Bosch, HP…) across 50+ countries worldwide. The OKR Institute is widely regarded as one of the leading global authorities in coaching, training, certification, and research related to Objectives and Key Results.
Additionally, we offer comprehensive OKR certification courses (C-OKRP®, C-OKRL®, C-OKRPro®) for business owners, CEOs, heads of departments, managers, HR practitioners, individuals, and coaches. Our team of internationally certified Performance, Leadership and OKR Coaches focuses on OKR drafting content and the context of people and performance culture, ensuring that organizations achieve a successful and sustainable OKR implementation through our Team-to-Impact Cycle™ (TIC). TICis a continuous execution framework that connects strategy to measurable outcomes by aligning teams around outcome-driven OKRs, and a disciplined cadence of planning, check-ins, and learning. It helps organizations move beyond activity and output toward real impact by enabling teams to self-align, adapt faster, and consistently translate strategic intent into measurable business results.
