 Aligning Your People & Activity to Strategic Objectives

Objectives and Key results

Any type of a Strategic Transformation or delivery of a large Project / Programme would experience challenges in making sure the work being done is aligned towards a common vision, objective and outcomes.

This could manifest as; team members working towards different priorities or even conflicting goals, lack of clarity of what the organisation is trying to achieve, lack of cohesion & duplication of effort, inability to prioritise or make effective decisions, reduced accountability and ownership, and delays in achieving the overall objectives.

The solution to these challenges is to; engage your teams in clarifying & setting organisational objectives & goals, agree measurable and actionable objectives and key results through facilitated discussions & brainstorming, clarifying expectations and focussing the organisation or programme on the outcomes to be achieved. The initial step in this process takes the form of an OKR workshop run by one of our experienced facilitators.

 

We can help you with:

  • Setting up an OKR framework
  • Assess the objectives, expectations & desired outcomes
  • Design and structure the workshop
  • Facilitate – ensuring all participants actively contribute
  • Encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills

  • Provide your teams ongoing coaching and support to meet your objectives.
