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
Learn the fundamentals of OKRs and how you can accomplish your strategies, mission, and vision using Objectives and Key Results.
Pain Points many organizations face when implementing OKRs:
ā¢Performance Culture Change ā¢Over-Cascading ā¢Pilot Group ā¢Measure progress ā¢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 OKRs program. The training workshops start with an overview of OKRs, emphasising your specific set of deployment parameters. Most of the training workshop time is dedicated to interactive exercises to draft 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.
