Why is getting started with OKR so hard?

it shouldn't be - but here's where it gets tricky:

  • Wasting huge amounts of time figuring out OKR and making simple mistakes
  • Missing the right activities to set and align OKRs (making it way too painful!)
  • Poorly written OKRs which don't help the business focus and prioritise

There's a better way to approach OKR. Our OKR Coaching is backed by experience helping hundreds of teams embed OKR.

OKR Quickstart

  • Make OKR writing easy - Introduce simple concepts and ideas to help your great meaningful OKRs which focus the business and teams. Your jaw will drop when you see what your teams achieve with OKRs done right!

Co-designed for impact

Scaling change is hard.  Our approach to co-design creates a network of change agents within each team to embed the framework. This network of your most passionate individuals are called your OKR Champions.

Following Lean Change practices we establish a regular forum for the OKR Champions to take a lead role and be accountable for the implementation of the changes. Whether you're a small startup or a large multinational, this approach creates commitment and disseminates capability across your business with your own people.

How we create lasting oKR advocates

  • Change lead: Senior individual accountable for change implementation.
  • Change Champ: Team members who'll facilitate embedding the change within teams. 
  • Senior Change Champ: Senior stakeholders from around the business who'll lead design of the change and execute change across the business. 
  • Rest of organization: Although no part of the change champ group, everyone is responsible for delivering on the change. Though the chang champ, everyone will have the tools to embed the change.
