The OKR Breakthrough by Philipp Schett helps mid to senior-career managers, team leaders and strategy professionals implement Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) that actually work. Built on insights from over 250 successful OKR implementations, this practical guide transforms OKRs into a dynamic system for execution, alignment and measurable growth.
