OKR Coaching by our experienced OKR Experts®

OKR software-independent OKR coaching – the focus is on people

Based on the principles of the Agile Manifesto (individuals and interactions are more important than processes and tools), we ensure a sustainable implementation of OKR that focuses on people rather than tools.

Focus first on skillset and mindset – then on the toolset

We focus on what really counts: A solid skillset and a clear mindset for OKR. Our OKR methods training courses are independent of OKR software and tools. We start with the simplest possible means (OKR templates) to increase acceptance. As soon as your team has learned and internalized the OKR method, we will help you select the perfect toolset.

We know the most innovative OKR tools!

OKR Coaching: The key to corporate success through agile strategy implementation and operational excellence

In today’s VUCA world and business environment, achieving goals is at the heart of every company, regardless of its size or industry. However, the process of goal setting and tracking is often complex and requires more than just superficial planning. This is where the OKR concept (Objectives and Key Results) comes into play, invented by Andy Grove, popularized by John Doerr and applied by pioneers in various organizations and departments.

What are OKRs? What is the OKR method?

OKR is a management tool that aims to align an entire company, all departments and employees towards common, measurable goals. By creating a framework for goal setting at various levels, it promotes transparency, agility and a continuous exchange within the organization.

Companies of every size and every industry

Our services are adapted to all company sizes and sectors. Whether small or large, our OKR Consulting and OKR Coaching services are flexible to meet the specific needs of your organization.

The journey is the reward – Agile transformation – a never-ending project

Agility must be introduced in an agile way. The introduction of OKR can be seen as a change project – but the transformation of mindset and cultural change is not a sprint but a marathon, is an ongoing process without end and takes time.

OKR experts with top training – certified OKR Coaches/Masters (OKR Coach or Master with official certification / certificate)

Our OKR experts undergo a multi-stage training process: Selection, training and certification (OKR Coach/Master Certificate, Certification or Certification).

In addition, we have developed best practices through the numerous OKR introductions that our coaches can use in coaching.

More than just OKR knowledge

Of course, we attach great importance to OKR knowledge, but also to the soft skills of our OKR coaches: the right mindset, empathic skills, good communication skills, a solid personality profile and emotional intelligence.

German, English and French

Our OKR experts speak German and English – some French.

Strategy and OKR as a compass for the daily work of the entire organization

The OKR objectives serve as a translator of the strategy and thus as a guideline and touchstone for the employees’ daily work on the objectives and the alignment of the objectives. In this way, tasks, assignments and projects can be managed in a results-oriented manner and set in relation to the objectives – thus promoting successful work and contributing to the implementation of the organization’s vision.

OKR and other agile methods in the organization, such as Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, etc.

Our OKR coaches are not only OKR experts, but also professionals in the integration of OKR into other agile frameworks, such as Scrum(Scrum Master, Agile Coaches), SAFe®(SCP), Kanban and many more. We can also customize our in-house training (e.g. OKR seminar) on request.

OKR Coaching – on-site at the client’s premises or remote – short or long-term – even just a few hours or days

Our OKR coaching program is flexible and adapted to the needs of our clients. Whether you only require a few hours or days of support, intensive support over several weeks or long-term support over months on site at your organization, we have the right offer for you.

Strategy and planning

Employees and departments

Employee involvement is crucial to the success of OKR. We promote exchange between the various levels and departments and help to increase the commitment, motivation, passion and dedication of employees.

Agility, resilience and success

In a fast-moving business world, agility is more than just a buzzword. It is the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions and one of the most important tasks of any management. Our OKR coaching services give you the agility you need to succeed and build resilience in a constantly changing environment.

Live the method and not just execute it procedurally

OKR can be understood as a pure method – but it can also be “lived”, thought and worked according to OKR. OKR brings about a change in mindset – and requires at least an openness to it. Our OKR coaches/masters have internalized the philosophy behind OKR. In the seminars, too, the aim is to be able to put what has been learned into practice immediately.

Passive participation in OKR meetings or active contribution

Our OKR coaches are trained to activate and involve employees in OKR meetings in order to create an optimal climate of participation.

Many years of experience
