Xebia Academy, a leading provider of technology and professional training courses, is proud to announce a new partnership with Utrecht-based This Is Performance. Together, we are clinching the cross-border collaboration with OKR Institute®, a world leader in Objective and Key Results (OKR) training and certification. This collaboration enables both parties to offer certified OKR training specifically for the Dutch market.

The partnership between Xebia Academy and This is Performance is based on a joint need to further develop the training materials of OKR Institute® and roll out an OKR training program in the Netherlands. “We see an increasing demand for specialized OKR training in the Netherlands,” said Jurriaan Bernson, Managing Director of Xebia Academy. “This partnership allows us to meet this demand with high-quality, customized OKR training.”

Co-Founder of This is Performance, Marco van Damme says, “The shared values and common goal of driving innovation and growth made this collaboration a logical next step.”

“Our conversations with This is Performance were very productive from the beginning,” adds Bernson. “We share a vision for high-quality training and practical application of OKR principles.”

Xebia Academy customers and trainees can now benefit from certified OKR training courses adapted to the Dutch market and corporate culture. These training courses provide practical insights and skills to effectively implement OKRs within their organizations.

“This partnership with Xebia Academy is a great step forward,” said Renzo Zitman, Managing Partner of This is Performance. “We are excited to share our expertise in OKR with a wider audience in the Netherlands.”
