It's THE conversation:  How do organizations drive excellence in strategy execution?  How do we achieve more with less, and transform in headwinds?  Create sustainable operational advantage?  

The Results Foundry is a thought leadership forum that brings together P&L owners, COOs, strategy operations execs and chiefs of staff that are serious about driving transformative outcomes. This invitation-only network shares insight and expertise in intimate meetings, retreats, courses, videos and papers. The Foundry agenda covers OKRs, cultivating an outcome mindset dynamic, high performing management models, and empowering people to deliver their best. Results Foundry offers a full slate of certification programs and skill builders for strategy execution and operations leaders, including the original OKR Coach Certification.
