Your team deserves a manager who calls them to excellence
7 years ago, I adopted OKRs. I’ve suffered & survived every implementation pitfall in the book, so you don’t have to.

“Waste no more time arguing what an excellent organisation should be. Make your team the model.”
I’ve been using OKRs with my team for a few years.
My main challenge was to define key results that were measurable within 1 quarter. The team became frustrated as we would set stretched outcome-focused key results for a quarter, but we couldn’t really know if we were successful before the next quarter.
In this course, I learned how to combine top-down and bottom-up approaches, using existing measures, metrics, and KPIs to shape the Key Results.
This knowledge enabled me to work with my team to define OKRs for 2022 with Key Results that were attainable at the end of each quarter.
I highly recommend this course if you are a strong advocate of OKRs but face similar or different challenges.

Questexcellence Conclave
Exchange ideas, tools, frameworks and tactics with other managers on the same journey
Every choice you make is a vote for excellence or mediocrity.
I was looking for a refresh and a different perspective on my OKR training as part of my continuous development. I have attended other training by OKR coaches, and it was frankly pretty underwhelming.
I saw Mukom post an OKR teardown on LinkedIn, and I could immediately see the quality of his thought process in relation to OKRs.
I joined this course, and it fundamentally shifted how I think about creating OKRs that create value for a team or business.
I have embedded the core frameworks delivered in this training into my own coaching practice, and it has unquestionably levelled up the workshops that I run, helping teams to efficiently create meaningful OKRs that deliver the biggest impact for their business.

FAQs
Will my OKRs be reviewed by a real person?
Yes, for 12 weeks, you can get feedback through every single step of crafting your OKRs and designing a system to ensure that your team actually accomplishes them.
You will request feedback through your Questexcellence Playbook app and receive a response within:
-
- 12 hours for Odin class holders
- 24 for Thor class holders
- 48 hours for Vidar class holders
You can use your accumulated points to get live 1:1 coaching.
What if my boss/company doesn't know about OKRs?
- establish your team as the model for strategy execution excellence in the organisation.
How does feedback work?
The Questexcellence Playbook you get when you join lays out the exact steps (katas) to follow to create a high-quality OKR, activate it and embed it into team processes.
- At any point, you can request feedback on a task, or output and get a written response within 12 hours.
- You can also keep your questions and ask them during your coaching sessions with an OKR expert.
Yes, that’s why we limit the number of seats, to maintain responsiveness.
How will I get my team's buy-in
By not comminting the 3 deadly rookie mistakes that make teams hate OKRs:
- Creating OKRs for your team.
- Not knowing where NOT to apply OKRs
- Not activating OKRs i.e. “Set and Pray”.
Questexcellence develops you, then guides you co-create OKRs with your team, virtually guaranteeing 100% buy in.
But my boss hates OKRs!
- Does your boss like to see results?
- Does your boss like to see happy customers?
- Does your boss like to see a highly engaged team?
- Does your boss like to see a much-loved product or service?
Those are the things your boss really cares about, not how you get them.
Sure, he might have had a bad experience with OKRs … because he didn’t have the Questexcellence Advantage. You have a chance to prove him wrong.
Aren't OKRs for big companies?
- will your team benefit from more focus?
- will your team benefit from a clear direction?
- will your team like to only realise that they failed at the end of the year?
Then they will benefit from OKRs. I know from 30 cycles of experience.
Many experts on Twitter say OKRs don’t work
I’ll quote the Queen of OKRs – Christina Wodtke
“If you hate OKRs, someone is doing them wrong, maybe you, maybe your boss.”
Questexcellence is built from the experience of 30 cycles of OKRs from a frontline manager like you.
I guarantee if you follow the program and
- Watch the sessions
- Do the Learn → Practice → Lead drills
- Get feedback on your system
You will succeed with OKRs, and be a model for the rest of your organisation.
Of course, there’s the no-questions-asked 20-day money-back guarantee.
Will this work for performance appraisals?
No! it won’t
No!! It shouldn’t
You should NOT use OKRs to set individual performance objectives. In this program, you will learn how to make OKRs play with your performance evaluation system without crippling them.
Our project management software doesn’t support OKRs
- You don’t need OKR software for the first 1-2 OKR cycles
- You don’t need to adopt any new software to get the Questexcellence results
The software is the easiest part of OKRs … after you get the foundations right.
The Questexcellence Playbook has a simple tracker to help you get started.

Let's Travel 12 Weeks Into the Future
could this be you?
Another Monday, as you walk to your desk with a dance in your step, you hear a colleague grumbling: “Oh gosh!! another Monday to commit to another list of tasks of questionable value.”
You smile as you vow to yourself … “this must never be me. This must never be my team.”
You get a cup of Ethiopian cappuccino and enter the meeting. One of your directs is sharing a glowing customer testimonial about the new service you just launched. The room lights up more as another direct shares a glowing tweet from yet another customer.
You sip your cappuccino and watch something that you used to be a fantasy unroll before your eyes:
Everyone kept most of the commitments from last week, and 5 of your 7 KPIs are trending green. Before you could express your concern about the 2 lagging KPIs, another of your directs raises it and a fourth reports how their plans this week to address the gaps.
One hour later, the meeting stops on time.
-
- Everyone is clear on what metrics need driving
- Almost everyone has a spring of pride in their step as they head to conquer the week
- You check the weekly team health pulse survey, and engagement is off the charts.
At your desk, an email pops in from your boss, but you’re never alarmed because you know you can handle whatever is thrown your way … through the team and operating system and the culture you’ve built.
But this email has just one word: “WOW!” on top of a forwarded email from another client gushing about the exceptional service they got from your team last week. You smile and respond:
“I’m the Chief Excellence Officer. This is what we do!”
