OKR Implementation Tailored to Your Organization
We have developed a sustainable OKR implementation approach after assisting hundreds of teams in getting started with Objectives and Key Results. The implementation is structured into three levels, based on two OKR cycles, to ensure the success and sustainability of your OKR implementation.
LEVEL 1: DEPLOYMENT OF OKRS
LEVEL 2: OKR TRAINING
LEVEL 3: OKR CYCLE COACHING
A Successful and Sustainable OKR implementation can propel you ahead of the competition. According to a Harvard and Gallup study, over 90% of organizations fail to execute their strategies successfully:
As OKRs are aligned with company strategy, they can bridge the strategy and execution gap successfully.
We carefully crafted our OKR implementation methodology:
We have worked with over 500 organizations across over 50 countries, empowering us to learn what truly works and discard what is ineffective. We follow an Agile approach to creating our implementation methodology and regularly review, improve, and iterate. We have identified success factors for OKR implementations and applied them within a flexible framework, considering your organization’s culture and complexities.
We have implemented OKRs within Middle Eastern, Asian, American, and European companies of all sizes and who conduct their businesses within different industries. From this experience, we can add tremendous value to you by applying the refined best practices that we have learned to your organization.
Our internal OKR Institute Implementation specialist/s will facilitate the whole process of implementation.
Pain Points many organizations face when implementing OKRs:
•Performance Culture Change •Over-Cascading •Choosing the right Pilot Group •Aligning Teams •Measuring progress •Giving up when it gets tough
We can assist you in mastering these challenges through our customized OKR Implementation Program.

Level 1: Deployment of OKRS
Step 1
We confirm why you are deploying OKRs.
Step 2
We assess your existing strategy and any OKRs if you have already implemented
Step 3
We define your OKR deployment plan based on your Strategies / Goals
Questions (parameters) that need to be answered before deploying OKRs:
- Levels: At what level will we set OKRs?
- Number: How many OKRs will we set?
- Scoring: How will we score OKR?
- Cycle Time: How long is the OKR cycle?
- Tools: Where do we draft, publish, and track OKRs?
- Performance Reviews: How will OKRs relate to performance reviews?
- OKRs vs KPIs: How do we differentiate OKRs from KPIs?
- Alignment: How will we ensure OKRs are aligned?
- Bottoms-Up: How will we ensure most OKRs originate bottom-up?
- Pilot Group: How will we ensure only OKR enthusiasts join this group?
Level 2: OKR Training
The parameters that are defined in Level 1 constitute your OKRs training program. We customize the training to define company and team/department OKRs specifically. You also have the option to include OKR Practitioner training, which will create a group of internal experts and coaches in OKRs. These internal OKR Practitioners will help ensure the sustainability of your OKR program. The training workshops start with an overview of OKRs, emphasising your specific deployment parameters. Most training workshop time is dedicated to interactive exercises to draft and align your OKRs.
Level 3: OKR Cycle Coaching
Step 1
Set and Align OKRs
Step 2
Check-In and Track
Step 3
Reflect and Reset
OKR Cycle typically runs 3-4 months but depends on the rhythm of your organization.
OKR Cycle Step 1: Set and Align OKRs
We assist you in refining, aligning, and publishing your OKRs in one central location. This can be done using a dedicated software tool or by utilizing one of our OKR templates.
OKR Cycle Step 2: Check-In and Monitor
We ensure that you integrate OKRs into your daily work throughout the OKR cycle and focus on those objectives, executing them effectively. Without proper OKR implementation, many teams simply return to their desks and work on their to-do lists, failing to integrate OKRs into their daily work.
OKR Cycle Step 3: Reflect and Reset
This step involves both reflecting on the past and looking into the future. As OKR Coaches, we focus not on holding you accountable for achieving all your key results. However, we do expect you to document what you have learned and apply those learnings to the next OKR cycle. At the end of the cycle, we will facilitate a Reflect & Reset session to ensure these learnings are properly documented and applied for the next cycle.
