Take Your Company To The Next Level With Proven OKR Advice
Work with me to turn your actions and investment into outcomes for your business and your customers.
Research vs. Experience
I know how it feels to build things or complete projects that don't make a difference. It hurts personally and it damages our business.
Research tells us that most OKR implementations fail to generate the intended benefits.
Experience tells me that no two contexts are quite the same and although the principles of OKR don’t change, the route to success does. I start by listening and understanding your challenges.
I don't use a cookie cutter to help you succeed. I work with you to create a tailored plan, suited to your particular context.
Let’s Work Together
At its heart OKR is a simple framework, but so many organisations fail with it. When you work with me you learn the 360° perspective that underpins OKR success. You will see why enabling capabilities provide the foundation for your ability to achieve your most critical outcomes. You will learn why outcomes depend on things like:
Leadership behaviour
Psychological safety
Great access to data
A coherent strategy
Not only do I teach your OKRs, I help you identify the capabilities that are dragging you back.
Whether you're new to OKR or have already struggled with them, my tried and trusted approach will help you succeed where others failed.
No two OKR implementations are the same. My listen first approach helps identify what you need to make OKRs work.
As a result of working with me:
You and your teams will understand what the organisation needs to achieve.
You will have measures to track progress against those outcomes
The teams will have the skills to assess progress and to work in shorter feedback loops
Your people will be more engaged because they know how they contribute to the big picture.
Our Engagement in More Detail
-
During the analysis phase I find out why you want to implement OKR. It’s important that you understand the problem you are trying to solve and what success looks like. I can then tell you if OKR is a good fit for your situation. Next I assess your current capabilities and consider how you need to change. OKR does not happen in isolation. I can identify the key enabling capabilities you need to work on and build a plan to grow them. We work together to establish how OKR will work for you, including the cadence you use, the communication approach and any potential tooling.
-
No two organisations are alike and to reflect this I design the workshops around the specific challenges you face. There is always an OKR fundamentals section to ensure consistency of language, but the other modules will depend on your needs and the things you need to unlearn. The workshop itself is delivered using a mix of learning techniques and collaboration technologies. This ensures that people stay engaged and learn the necessary techniques.
The workshops always finish with you creating your first OKRs.
-
Training and workshops are great, but you really start to grow when you use OKR for real. I support this journey with regular coaching sessions. This will usually last six months, covering the evolution of your OKRs and the setting of new OKRs for future quarters.
-
As a final step I attend the OKR setting for the next period. This helps you become self-sufficient OKR experts. If required I can work on a retainer to continue to support your journey to focus on outcomes.
