OUR STORY

Built by Practitioners,
For Practitioners

We established the OKR Institute in 2017 to help people and teams adopt an outcome-driven mindset and create meaningful impact.

To guide the evolution of OKR practices globally, we created the OKRImpact Board™, a body of experts and practitioners spanning strategy, performance, people and change, and digital innovation.

Today, OKRI operates training and coaching centers in Germany, the Netherlands, England, Switzerland, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the UAE, Canada, and the United States. We’ve delivered 13,000+ courses for 70,000+ participants across 1,000+ organizations (e.g., Roche, BCG, Microsoft, Amazon, VW, Bosch) in 50+ countries.

We offer certification courses (C-OKRP®, C-OKRL®, C-OKRO®, C-OKRPro®) for executives, managers, practitioners, and coaches. Our certified OKR Coaches ensure sustainable implementation through our Team-to-Impact Cycle™ (TIC), a continuous execution framework that connects strategy to measurable outcomes.
