Viva Goals is Ending—Make the Effective Transition Before Your Company Suffers
The Clock is Ticking: Viva Goals will be going away
Microsoft will end Viva Goals by the end of 2025, and organizations that wait too long will be left scrambling. The countdown has already begun if you rely on Viva to drive strategy and track OKRs. Don't wait for the deadline to force your hand—organizations that act now will be ready to execute strategy more effectively in 2026.
What You Risk Without a Plan
Losing Viva Goals means more than switching platforms; it means selecting the right platform for the right reasons. Without a careful transition plan:
- Your team will lose structured goal-tracking workflows that keep them aligned and focused.
- Performance visibility will vanish, leaving leadership in the dark.
- Strategy execution will slow, while competitors with a plan accelerate past you.
The biggest risk? Believing that new software alone will make you successful.
Effective OKRs demand more than just tools—they require best practices through expert guidance. Without effective goal-setting practices, your goals could become chaotic without expert support when implementing OKRs across your organization. The organizations that thrive through this transition will be the ones that understand that OKR success is about discipline, coaching, and action, not just software.

The Power of Support: What Other Platforms Miss

Other platforms sell features. Inspire delivers transformation. With our coaching-first approach, you’re not left guessing how to align, measure, or drive OKRs—you’re coached through it, step-by-step.
While others waste months “guessing what good OKRs are,” Inspire users build data that gives them more profound insights into what matters most to the organization.
Our team has guided organizations across industries to write better goals and achieve them faster, more consistently, and with higher levels of engagement by the people pursuing those goals. Why settle for a generic solution when you can have a tailored, expert-driven approach that ensures success?
