OKR Specialists

OKR-specific support based on 3,000+ clients

OKRs help you measure what matters.

How does your team know what they should do more of, and less of, to support the organization’s success? OKRs are as much about what you stop doing, then what you start doing…

Our proven approach helps your team quickly surface their critical success factors and build them into an effective management system. Our support has a few key components:

1. Fast. We can have you operational in as little as five days.

2. Owned. Our support is delivered through learn/do/check cycles where your team owns their OKRs because they built them!

3. Perpetual. Your organization learns the skills to maintain your OKRs for ever.

4. Agile. The world never stops changing, so your OKRs better keep up.

Managing with OKRs

OKR success comes from how they are used in the day-to-day operations and management of the business. Pm2 has developed a series of special-topic workshops including;

Rewards & Compensation with OKRs. It is a misconception that OKRs should not be part of your compensation model. This workshop integrates best-practice compensation and rewards processes with OKRs.

Budgeting with OKRs. There must be a relationship between your OKRs and budgets. This workshop takes you through using FP&A best practices with OKRs.

Human Capital Planning with OKRs. OKRs can only be achieved if you have the human capital to do the work. This workshop takes you through best practices in using OKRs to plan for human resources, assign clear accountability, and design effective organizations.

Strategic Planning for OKRs

Most organizations have a strategy – even if it is not documented. In most cases the existing strategy is the one that you should use to begin your OKR journey…in our experience the best refinements to your strategy will come after you have used OKRs for six months or more. Even when organizations set a new strategy right before their OKR project, that strategy often changes after six months of using your OKRs.

Existing strategies often need some refinement before they can be used for OKRs –strategies are often written to communicate to stakeholders and not to detail priorities or have detailed targets, which you need for your OKRs.

We have developed a special two-day workshop designed to harvest those aspects of your strategy required to power your OKRs. In this workshop you will capture:

• Existing strategic objectives
• Strategic priorities for the next quarter and year
• Key Result targets
• Top-level OKR ownership (RACI)

OKR Audit and Assessment

Most organizations have experimented with OKRs, or have been using a similar performance management system such as:

  • Balanced Scorecard
  • OGSM (objectives, goals, strategies, and measures)
  • EOS(Enterprise Operating System)
  • 4DX (Four Disciplines of Execution)
  • MAP Vital Factors
  • Making Big Happen

Each of these methodologies brings great capabilities, but organizations sometimes outgrow them, need different capabilities, or just want a change. Our audit will assess your current strategy execution capabilities and identify your current strengths and weaknesses and recommend ways to improve your management system.

Our assessment covers your system’s capabilities around:

  • Translating strategy into operational terms
  • Aligning the organization
  • Providing focus
  • Engaging employees
  • Making strategy a continuous process
  • Leading organizational success

Our proven approach helps your team quickly surface their critical success factors and build them into an effective management system. Our support is based on a few key convents:

“Great OKRs are built in the real world, not boardrooms.” The sooner you turn them on, the sooner they start getting better.

“Teach a hungery person to fish”: We transfer our skill sets into your organization so they are self sustaining.

“Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good”: O.K. OKRs now will serve you better than perfect OKRs a month from now.

“Involvement builds commitment”: your team builds their OKRs – we don’t build them for you.

“OKRs must give back more benefits to each individual than they ask of them”: Everyone must benefit from their OKRs, not just leadership.
