Most strategies die by Friday. Not because the plan is bad, but because there’s no rhythm to execute it. In two days, your team will leave with one Focus Objective, two results that matter, and a 20-minute weekly habit that forces progress
This workshop is about installation, not just information. You will walk out with:
One Focus Objective that everyone remembers and acts on.
Two Key Results That Work Together: 1 Outcome KR (the lag measure) + 1 Lead KR (the behavior or flow you can influence weekly).
A Simple Scoreboard that drives decisions, not theater. You'll see progress in real-time.
The "Weekly-20" Cadence: A 20-minute weekly habit focused on Lag → Lead → Intervention → 1 Blocker.
A Clear 90-Day Route with progress gates at Week 2, Week 4, and Week 12 to ensure your OKRs don't just fade away.
A copy of the book Moving the Needle with Lean OKRs.
The result: less noise, more movement, and visible wins by week two.
Less, but better: always 1 Objective + 2 KRs.
Behavior & flow before targets: measure what actually moves the outcome.
Decisions on a clock: a weekly 20-minute checkpoint, every time.
Foundations before rhythm: if basics block momentum, we fix those first.
Built from the book Moving the Needle with Lean OKRs—field-tested, not slide-deck theory.
We focus on the essential system that makes OKRs work.
Lean OKR Explained: Why "less is more" and how to gain radical focus with just 1 Objective and 2 powerful Key Results.
The OKR Cycle: How to install the "Weekly-20" habit and use the 90-day gates (W2/W4/W12) to maintain momentum.
Dashboards that Drive Action: Learn to build simple "scoreboards" that tell you if you're winning, not complex reports nobody reads.
Behavior vs. Flow: Understand when to use protocols versus when to run internal experiments to unblock your team.
Executives & Founders who want their strategy executed, not just narrated in meetings.
Product & Team Leaders committed to shifting their teams from delivering output to driving outcomes.
Consultants & Coaches who need to install a common language and a reliable execution cadence for their clients.
1-Day Essentials: Covers Focus, KRs, the Weekly-20 habit, building a scoreboard, and launching a 90-day pilot.
2-Day Deep Dive + Rollout: Includes all Essentials plus advanced levers for behavior/flow, designing interventions, dashboard patterns, and rollout drills for your organization.
Language: English / Dutch
Where: Central Netherlands (Amsterdam/Utrecht/Rotterdam area)
Seats: Maximum 20 per workshop to ensure hands-on guidance.
Cadence: One public workshop held every two months.
This isn't just a certificate of attendance. It's proof of application. Attend the workshop, run two "Weekly-20s" with your team within 30 days, and submit a one-page scoreboard snapshot. You'll earn your Moving the Needle Leader certificate (digital badge, printable, and official LinkedIn wording).
“With Moving the Needle, we created hyper focus and it has delivered huge value to our organization. And this counts for our XP training, too. We’re already seeing good results with increased efficiency within those teams. Most importantly, collaboration has increased which is leading to more confidence in our most ambitious targets.“
“At Harver, Bart coached managers and teams alike to help them think innovatively about how they practice agile development and form new habits…[]“
“Bart helped us at BinckBank to introduce many employees to the concept of OKRs…[]“
“We recently introduced OKRs to support our new strategy. Bart helped us introducing OKRs, the creation of our BHAG and define the company and team OKRs.“
We keep groups small and hands-on to ensure every participant gets the attention they need to succeed.
The waitlist gets a private invitation 48 hours before the public announcement, plus an exclusive early-bird price. The last three workshops sold out before they were ever announced to the public.
No. You’ll write OKRs, but the point is installing the weekly decision-making habit (the "Weekly-20") and the behavior/flow levers that create real movement.
Because we keep it lean (1 Objective + 2 KRs), pair an outcome with a lead measure you can influence, and install the "Weekly-20" cadence. That's the system that prevents OKRs from failing.
Yes. I offer on-site workshops for your entire team, though dates are limited. You can inquire on the enrollment page.
