#beyondmethod

We see OKR not just as an isolated method, but as a transformative force that has the potential to change organizations at all levels. OKR enables a clear focus on the mission statement and strategy by providing a clear structure for defining and pursuing objectives. OKR has a profound impact on people, culture and mindset by promoting transparency, strengthening collaboration and creating an environment in which each individual can see their contribution to the overall success. OKR supports the transformation of the organization towards more agility, adaptability and resilience – and supports the organizational transformation towards more effective and efficient forms of organization. We integrate OKR seamlessly with other methods such as Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, Lean and Design Thinking to promote a holistic and effective way of working. OKR plays a crucial role in further digitization, automation, scaling and the use of AI by helping to set clear goals for these initiatives and measure their progress. Overall, we see OKR as a catalyst for a holistic, comprehensive and sustainably successful transformation.

#beyondconsulting

We are tried-and-tested experts with extensive professional and life experience. We are not theoretical consultants or purely academic trainers. We are experienced professionals who know the challenges and needs of our customers from our own experience. As former C-level executives, startup founders and entrepreneurs, we understand the situation of our clients very well. We are not “traditional” management consultants, but see ourselves as partners who work on an equal footing with our clients. We bring not only our expertise in OKR, but also other methodological skills as well as our entrepreneurial experience and understanding of the challenges companies face in today’s fast-paced and complex business world. With empathy and commitment, we work closely with our clients to develop customized solutions that meet their specific needs and objectives.

#beyonddogma

We firmly believe that methods should serve people and organizations and not the other way around. We therefore attach great importance to adapting the OKR method to the specific needs and circumstances of each organization we work with. We understand that every organization is unique – in its culture, its structure, its goals and its challenges. Our approach is therefore to modify and implement the OKR method in such a way that it fits the context of the respective organization and brings the greatest possible benefit. At the same time, we are aware of the fact that adapting the method too much can impair its effectiveness. We are therefore careful to ensure that the adjustments we make do not undermine the core principles and transformative power of OKR. Our goal is to find a balance between adapting the method to the organization and maintaining its full effectiveness. In this way, we ensure that the organizations we work with can exploit the full potential of OKR.

#beyondsoftware

Based on the principles of the Agile Manifesto, in particular the first principle: “Individuals and interactions are more important than processes and tools”, we ensure a sustainable implementation of OKR that focuses on people, especially teams, rather than tools. We focus first on what really counts: A solid skillset and a clear mindset – only then on the toolset. Our OKR methods training courses are independent of OKR tools and software solutions. We start with the simplest possible means, such as OKR Excel templates or existing tools, such as JIRA, to increase acceptance and minimize resistance. Once your teams have learned and internalized the OKR method, we will help you select the perfect toolset. As neutral and independent consultants, our sole focus is to help you find the right software that best meets the specific needs and requirements of your organization. And if you have already selected or are using OKR software, we will help you to configure and set it up so that the tool fits your organization and you can use OKR optimally.
