DEEP FRAMEWORK OKR Certification

Get Certified in the Thinking Process Behind OKR Programs That Actually Work

Not a generic body of knowledge — the specific interventions and frameworks already proven inside real, large-scale implementations. Three tiers, one program, open to organisations everywhere.

Why This Earns Confidence

Not a Body of Knowledge — an Operating Manual

Competing certification programs are built around a generic body of knowledge — the same OKR theory taught by dozens of providers, wrapped in a credential. This program is structured the opposite way: every module teaches something already proven inside a real, named-scale engagement — a $45Bn energy company, a 70,000-person IT services organisation, a listed Indian fintech.

Participants aren't learning OKR theory. They're learning the specific interventions that have already worked at scale, and the specific mistakes that have already killed programs — so they don't have to discover either the hard way.

"This is not a body of knowledge. It is the operating manual for what we have already proven works."

Tier 1

OKR Foundation Program — DEEP Framework

OFP-DF

Foundation exists to solve a specific, common failure: teams that get OKR training as individuals arrive at deeper programs with inconsistent mental models. This tier gets an entire cohort of 10 speaking the same language before anyone writes a single OKR.

Why Most OKR Programs Die by Quarter Two
Setting the C-suite's OKRs is the beginning of implementation, not the deliverable — most programs die below the leadership layer because coaching stops too early.
Output vs Outcome: The Core Distinction
Not that output KRs are wrong — teams can't tell the difference between the two types and therefore can't use them correctly.
The Three Week-One Warning Signals
A practical self-diagnostic: was this pushed or chosen, how many product queries is the team raising, does coaching stop at the C-suite.
Alignment = Agreement
Reframes alignment away from tool configuration — agreement between teams on what matters, why, and how work connects.
Org Structure as a Precondition
Cascading OKRs through a misaligned structure doesn't reveal the misalignment — it embeds it.
Introducing the DEEP Framework
A first look at Define, Execute, Evaluate, Plan — the throughline every deeper tier builds on.
ASSESSMENT
Written exam covering the core frameworks and beliefs, plus a real OKR writing submission — participants submit actual OKRs for their own team, assessed against the outcome-driven standard taught in the program.
Tier 2

OKR Certified Practitioner — DEEP Framework

OCP-DF

Participants move from understanding the concepts to being able to do the work. The core technique — deriving team OKRs directly from reading the CEO's goals — is taught and practiced live, using scenarios from participants' own businesses.

The Thinking Process
Deriving team OKRs directly from reading the CEO's goals — the highest-leverage coaching technique for first-cycle implementations.
The Output vs Outcome Game
Participants identify which of their own real goals are output-led and which are outcome-driven, using scenarios from their own business.
The Org Structure Audit
A practical technique for checking whether a team's structure is designed to deliver its strategy — before writing a single OKR.
Alignment = Agreement, in Practice
How to build real cross-team agreement, and recognise when a nicely cascaded OKR tree is fiction rather than fact.
Coaching to Career Background
Why a finance leader, a product leader, and a sales leader each need the framework translated through their own mental model.
Case Study Deep-Dives
Guided walkthroughs of two to three anonymised real engagements, matched where possible to participants' own industries.
Writing Genuinely Outcome-Driven OKRs
The technical skill-building module directly in service of the exam and submission requirements.
ASSESSMENT
Written exam, OKR writing submission, and a coaching program design exercise — participants leave with an actual, usable coaching program design for their own organisation.
Tier 3

OKR Certified Coach — DEEP Framework

OCC-DF

This tier exists to solve the single most costly failure pattern in the industry: coaching that stops at the C-suite. Certified Coaches are trained to carry a program through the moment every other certification ignores.

The Coaching Cliff
A full diagnostic of the moment OKR coaching ends at the C-suite and the organisation is expected to cascade independently.
The Full DEEP Framework, End to End
Define, Execute, Evaluate, Plan applied across a complete cycle — what a coach should watch for and intervene on at each stage.
Designing a Bottom-Up Transition Plan
Sequencing the move from top-down (first two quarters, actively coached) to genuine bottom-up goal-setting.
Coaching Through Fear of Failure
Making explicit, from session one, that OKR programs are transformational journeys — not performance assessments.
Measuring What Matters: Execution Maturity Rate
How to measure the percentage of leaders who can independently write a genuine outcome-driven goal.
Governance & Retrospective Design
Building real retrospectives that produce something the organisation carries into the next cycle.
1:1 Coaching Practicum
Live, coached role-plays applying career-background translation in real time, with direct feedback.
Real-Play: Coaching Program Design
The capstone exercise — participants design a full coaching program for their own organisation's actual context.
ASSESSMENT
Written exam, OKR writing submission, and a coaching program design exercise — participants leave with an actual, usable coaching program design for their own organisation.
Program Rigor

Built to a Standard, Not Just a Curriculum

This program is designed to the same rigor as internationally recognised coaching and HR certifications — structured assessment, real submitted work product, and a genuine practicum at the Coach tier. The credibility case rests on what participants can demonstrably do at the end of each tier, not a certificate of attendance.

Real Work, Not Multiple Choice

A Practitioner leaves with real OKRs written for their own team. A Coach leaves with an actual coaching program designed for their own organisation.

Delivered by Senior OKR Experts

All three tiers are delivered live or semi-live by senior OKR experts working alongside Maddy — not a self-paced video library.

No Sequential Gatekeeping

Eligibility is based on role and experience, not prior certification — enter at the tier that actually fits.

Sourced from Real Engagements

Every module across all three tiers is drawn from material already validated inside real client implementations.

Program Fit Quiz

Which Program Is Right for You?

Six quick questions. Two of them are scenario checks — so a confident guess won't be enough to land on Coach if the fundamentals aren't there yet.

Question 1 of 6
Which best describes your current role?
Question 2 of 6
How long have you personally worked with OKRs, in any capacity?
Question 3 of 6 — Scenario Check
Your team's Key Result is: "Ship the new onboarding flow by Q3." Is this an outcome, or is something missing?
Question 4 of 6
Which is closest to true for your organisation's OKR journey right now?
Question 5 of 6
What are you hoping to walk away with?
Question 6 of 6 — Scenario Check
A cross-functional program has full leadership buy-in and a clean OKR tree in the platform. Six weeks later, nothing has moved. What's the most likely cause?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program available to organisations in any country?

Yes. This is a single global program — the curriculum, tiers, and delivery are the same regardless of where your organisation is based.

No. Each tier has its own eligibility based on role and experience, not prior certification — an organisation can enrol a batch directly into the tier that fits.

Who delivers the training?

All three tiers are delivered live or semi-live by senior OKR experts working alongside Maddy — not a self-paced video library, and not dependent on a single trainer.

How much does each tier cost?

Pricing is not published — consistent with how our consulting engagements work. Request pricing and we'll scope it to your organisation and batch size.

What does a participant actually receive at the end?

Foundation: a completion record. Practitioner: a certification backed by a written exam and a real OKR writing submission. Coach: a certification backed by a written exam, an OKR writing submission, and an actual coaching program designed for their own organisation.
