Achieve Alignment at Scale Leveraging OKRs

OKR Implementation / Deployment Coaching

Discover how to enhance alignment between strategy and execution by mastering the utilization of frameworks like OKRs and Evidence-based Management (EBM). These tools help align strategic priorities and enable multi-disciplinary cross-organization teams to innovate with empowerment.

Here’s what my typical OKR launch/boost engagements look like:

• Exploring current management operating system (whether using OKRs or not) and surrounding context – what’s working, what’s not, opportunities, and threats. This will be accomplished via quick conversations with relevant players and reviewing existing artifacts. 
• Facilitate an OKR Implementation Strategy workshop to align on improvements for the company/group-level management/operating system.
  • This workshop starts by exploring the current context and challenges, objectives, and desired results.
  • We then explore principles and practices to help achieve the desired results and create an operating system that takes a pragmatic evolutionary step toward the desired results. This workshop section combines OKR / EBM training and in-context application conversations. 
  • The last part of the workshop is a conversation about the next steps – we draft a blueprint for the planned interventions, a roadmap for change, and a plan of what kind of support the group will need. 
• OKR Training and Coaching
  • Based on the outcomes of the strategic workshop, we will co-create and then implement an OKR/EBM training and coaching roadmap. 
• Coaching the leadership team through creating company-level OKRs conducive to the right balance between alignment towards outcomes and the right execution autonomy. 
• Help prepare and facilitate a broad participation (Big Room) OKR workshop to align OKRs across the organization (based on my OKR Big Room Alignment framework)
• Coach OKR execution check-ins, grading, debrief,ing and retrospectives – Inspect and Adapt several cycles of OKR implementation
