Event Details

OKR Champions play an important role in bridging the OKR Sponsor's vision with ground-level execution, working closely with OKR Owner(s) to drive OKR adoption and ensuring alignment within their respective groups and entities.


The A*STAR OKR Champion Programme is a 2-day interactive workshop tailored to A*STAR's needs and context. Through interactive sessions and practical applications, participants will:

  1. Gain skills to refine, align, cascade and review OKRs within their entities.
  2. Learn how to coach and support others in developing and refining OKRs.
  3. Develop an actionable OKR implementation plan.



This programme is specifically designed for OKR Champions nominated by their entities. To ensure the workshop's effectiveness, please note the following requirements:

  1. Participants who cannot commit to both dates should not register for the programme, and may express interest in future sessions by reaching out to Melissa Ho (Melissa_Ho@hq.a-star.edu.sg).
  2. To attend the OKR Champion Programme, participants must have completed an OKR Open-run Workshop by PM Partners, which has been organised by L&OD since November 2024.



Preparation & Workshop Logistics

  • Pre-work: Please read and familiarise yourself with your entity's OKRs before the session.
  • What to bring: Your laptop and charger for both days, as you will be working on online activities (e.g., Google Slides).
  • Commitment: Please avoid scheduling meetings during the workshop to ensure full participation. Attendance for the full 2-day programme is mandatory, as stated in the pre-requisite.



Important Note on Withdrawals

If you are unable to attend, please inform us as soon as possible. In cases where no valid reason is provided, L&OD reserves the right to charge the cost of the workshop to the participant's entity and inform entity heads.
