Hey, happy Monday.

OKRs are an open source methodology, so everyone, over time, has created their own secret recipe that they do not want to reveal.

If you notice, in fact, your LinkedIn feed proliferates with posts and carousels with the benefits that come with them and that someone has already achieved. But no one explains how to do it.

I have been able to discover by interviewing dozens of community members and clients that most OKR consultations end up providing information on theory, but fail to move to practice.

Imagine how you would feel if your OKR coach asked you, after starting the stopwatch, “so tell me, what are your company’s priorities?”

Pardon?

If they had been clear enough, you would not have needed counseling!

To paraphrase a famous saying, it is as if they ask to borrow your watch to tell you what time it is and then send you the bill!

When I founded STRTGY I told myself that if even one community member, or one customer, felt that way I would shut down the project the next day!

I can say, without being mistaken, that MAKE PROGRESS is the best publicly documented OKR-based business growth system.

Anyone can read how the implementation process works in the official book (and a thousand people have already done so). He can even access all the tools and follow the documentation step by step.

Anyone can participate in public workshops to move from theory to practice as quickly as possible.

And anyone can appreciate how each component has been engineered so that each output is the input for the next step.

It’s like reading the numbers behind the pieces of a puzzle that finally fit together with precision to show you the picture you’ve never been able to see so clearly before: your company’s strategy.

I would like to show you the behind the scenes of this great work

With my team, we are organizing a series of in-person events around Italy.

I would be honored if you could participate!

We gave this project the code name “backstage” because it is literally the feeling we want to give to those who will participate.

We want to show exactly how the program MAKE PROGRESS runs in reality with OKRs and how you can do it too.

A look directly at our internal documents, the steps in each week’s project, what results to achieve and what tools to use, what the difficulties are and how to overcome them.

You will also hear case studies directly from the voices of those who are already leading their companies with these strategic acceleration tools.

You will also be able to stay for dinner with us and expand your network.

Seats are limited due to logistical issues but I thought you who are subscribed to this newsletter deserved privileged backstage access.

I have prepared a personal discount code to purchase the Pass with 30% discount. To receive it sign up for the newsletter and reply to any email to request it.

Visit the event page, choose the city and date you can attend, and pick up your Pass now.

I’m waiting for you behind the scenes of your grand strategy,

ALWAYS MAKE PROGRESS ⤴
