About this course

This LinkedIn Learning course covers two complementary goal-setting frameworks: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for tracking ongoing performance, and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) for setting ambitious quarterly goals aligned to organizational strategy.

Students learn to design metrics that actually measure what matters, avoid common measurement traps like Goodhart's Law, and build a culture where data-driven goal-setting improves performance rather than creating perverse incentives.

What you'll learn

Design KPIs that measure outcomes rather than activity or vanity metrics
Write Objectives and Key Results that are ambitious, measurable, and aligned
Cascade OKRs from organizational to team to individual level
Run effective OKR review cycles that maintain focus and accountability
Avoid common goal-setting mistakes that undermine performance culture

Frequently asked questions

Both — KPIs track ongoing health metrics; OKRs drive strategic change. They complement each other rather than compete.
Quarterly setting with weekly or bi-weekly check-ins is the standard cadence used at Google, Intel, and most OKR practitioners.
