The OKR framework is designed to set organizations up for success. Yet many organizations that adopt OKR see little to no benefit of working with the framework. Why is that?

Well, a lot of these organizations use what Felipe Castro calls the "Tinkerbell approach to OKR" — they simply continue working the same way they did before and just sprinkle some "OKR" pixie dust over it. That might work if you're lucky, but in most cases it won't.

OKR calls for a fundamental shift in how you approach work and has a few key areas that need attention in order for it to be a huge success. We spoke to OKR trainer and consultant, Felipe Castro, on what it takes to be successful with OKR.

During this episode we'll discuss the 3 things you need to be successful with OKR:

1. Commitment to OKR from senior leadership
2. How to use OKR in practice
3. Unlearn old models

Tune in to get a deep dive on what you need to do to make your OKR program a massive success. Learn from the experts!
